Windows XP included with academic software?

Years ago, I bought a copy of Visual J++ at my local community college book
store. It came with a free copy of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. Is there a
similar deal for Windows XP today?

get your comminity college to look into the MSDNAA programme
(http://www.msdnaa.com/). basically for a small fee students and lecturers
can get all the major software programs ever made by microsoft for free -
with the excption of MS Office (at least that is the case at my
Polytechnic).

To add the good advice provided by Steven:
The software is also available to department staff, and can be used in
departments classrooms and labs.
The cost for the first year is $799 US and annual renewals are only $399.
That price is fixed no matter how many students/faculty/staff take advantage
of it.

Thanks. I will look into this. Hopefully I can get my local college to
participate.

If they don't, can the local student body organization group together and
buy it for the school, or does it have to be spearheaded by the school
itself? The cost would be well under a buck per person, so I don't see why
they wouldn't be intnerested.

The membership is granted to a Department in a college or qualifying school.
The department in question would have to apply for, and administer the
membership. Who actually pays is of little consequence, IIRC. If collecting
the money is no problem, you'll still need to find a faculty member who will
act as representative/administrator as the point of contact to deal with
MSDNAA. I would recommend that you go to the web site and read up on the
"rules" so that you can present the program well to whomever you think would
be interested.

Go to the MSDNAA Program menu at the upper left.
