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?
