Microsoft page:
https://www.microsoft.com/student/en/us/windows/buynow/default.aspx
the "Am I Eligible?" link on the MS page leads to a way to request the deal if you do not have an .edu email address...
it also links to discounts on Office Professional Academic 2010 for students in the UK and Canada...
now...where is the link for discounts for everyone???...
