Downloads for Students
If you are a student pretty much anywhere in the world you may want to check Microsoft’s DreamSpark out before you next go looking to buy software as there is a large library of free (& legal!) software for eligible students. All you need to do is head over to the site, verify that you are a student in a higher educational institute and then you should be away and downloading any of the software from the site.
I am also aware that some faculties at some universities have access to free software for their students, for strictly educational purposes obviously, I know with my university there is even the option to download XP (not sure about Vista) for free.
