XP Pro Upgrade - Student version

Ran across this deal at Newegg last nite while researching a new system for my daughter who is in college. MS has an XP Pro Upgrade for Educational purposes. You need to be a Teacher, College Student (High School does NOT qualify) or several other categories. You have to enter your college name, student name and student ID when you check out at Newegg. It is an upgrade from 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000 Pro or XP Home so you'll need a legit copy of one in order to install, I assume. With XP Pro going for $135-145, this deal at $85 is better than XP Home at $90. If you're interested, here's a link:

I was reading around on that link and one one the reviews had a warning - 'you can only install this OS on one machine and there is no warning label anywhere to be found stating this! '

I was tempted to leave a post telling them that this is how it always has been just that MS figured out how to actually enforce it, but figured it would be a waste of time, worth a small chuckle though
