    NOTE: The $29.99 version of Windows 7 is an UPGRADE version of Windows 7 Professional only! It is possible to do a clean install using a Windows 7 upgrade DVD, but it is not as straight-forward as installing the full version.

    Update: Windows7 for $29 is no longer available, the price has gone up to $64 for students. An academic version of Office 2010 Professional can be ordered at http://www.microsoft.com/student/office/en-us/default.aspx for $79
