But i belive this is an upgrade version and not a full retail version.

Oh ok, I didnt realize the upgrade to Ult was so cheap. Thanks Keith

Go to the buying site. Click the FAQ link. Click the bold first question which takes you to http://drh.img.digitalriver.com/store/mswpus/ContentTheme/pbPage.preorder.

I believe it's also in the official rules.

I can't personally verify it because I am not a student and can't actually order a product.

Where is the link to Pro? All I see is Home Premium.

The price difference between Pro and Ultimate is $20 according to the pre-order pricing at http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Windows-Windows-7/category/102 and most other sites I've looked at like amazon.com.

I would imagine the anytime upgrade from Pro to Ultimate will be right around that.

$30 for Pro + $20 to get to Ultimate sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Boot from VHD, bitlocker, bitlocker to go...etc.

It's actually home premium or professional (my understanding).

What is it you need that doesn't come with Pro?

But..., it's HOME PREMIUM.

If you wanted to give us students a deal, make it ULTIMATE for $30!
