Vista is not off to a good start

The MsdnAA at my uni actually only covers the Enterprise edition of Win2k3 and WinXP Pro. And I dont even need shell out an extra cent.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Wait, so the academic licence covers the Ultimate edition (likely the only one worth having anyway) for the discount? I thought they only went with the cheapest version, like XP Home. Least, that's what I recall they offered at my college and uni.
Guess who is placing a request for Vista when uni resumes next year? They have an online ordering system which emails your student email account when the thing is avaliable complete with reminder notices of when you need to return the media you borrow.
