[Deal_or_No_deal]

[u][b][color=#ff0000]For those interested in legal Windows 8 software $19 is a steal of a deal.[/color][/b][/u]

I logged in and checked to see what's new and noticed Windows 8 Professional is now available for download free for Dreamspark Premium members

MSDNAA aka Dreamspark Premium is available free of charge for all members of IEEE and ACM.
[color=Red][b]ANYONE CAN JOIN![/b][/color] I understand that some schools already provide free access to Dreamspark Premium, but those of us who don't can join these organizations instead!

When registering for ACM, you'll see a warning about Windows 7, Just ignore it. Windows 8 is new and just recently available through ACM's MSDNAA access.

It takes about 4-5 business days to get full access after paying for membership. I've already downloaded and confirmed working installations of two free full versions of both Windows 8 Professional using membership from IEEE. Also tons of other MS software available such as Windows Server 2012.

Additional membership instructions:
[b]You get TWO license key for Windows 8 from IEEE and ONE license from ACM (only English available). [/b]
[b]And, YES this is the same exact FULL VERSION of Windows 8 which comes out later this month.[/b]

If you are a student and have valid email id(.edu) then I think it is free.
