Perhaps you've all misunderstood me, I know that the MSDNAA is above board, it's the $7 I'm asking about. MSDNAA is free (to the student) if you're taking at least 1 credit of CS/IT/EE/IS classes (so it's not free, it costs whatever that credit costs, not even that good a deal really). What you said implies that I can be a performing arts major, walk into some room, slap down $7 bucks and walk out with cheap (in every way) software. Is this legal?
