Apparently it's basically Vista SP2, with a new name because Vista has a bad rap. I've enjoyed Vista so far, and most of the improvements I would want (rotating desktop photos, etc) are addressed in Windows 7.

Also fwiw it is a lot better than just calling it vista sp2. It has much more of a "things just work" mentality.

Can any student get it though MSDN? Couldn't find an answer on the page.

The word "bi-partisan" usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.

That is such bullshit. I think they should extend a license for TAs and instructors and shit. Every time I have to make a quiz I have to go to a lab because I don't have Office (which unless I'm mistaken is one of the included applications that you can get from this deal) which means I don't have MathType.

You are mistaken. Office is not available through this deal.
