    As we mentioned in an earlier post ("Windows 7: To upgrade or not to upgrade?"), students can snag an upgrade of Windows 7 Home Premium for just $30—that's seventy-five percent off the $120 ticket price.  Find ordering information, plus various forms of college-oriented infotainment, at Win741.com.

    Also, students should be sure to check their school's online store, which often offers deeply discounted prices on otherwise expensive software.  Take Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, which includes nine programs including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and can cost upwards of $600. For a student? $60.

    [Update 10/22/09: For even more on getting Windows 7 on the cheap, check out out "Five Legal Ways to Get Windows 7 for Under $120" from our sister site, The Consumerist.]
