software4students downloads?

freida · 2010-06-13 20:04:08

Just wondering if anyone has used this site to get microsoft word etc., there is a validation required (i think this is to ensure your a genuine student) and I'm wondering how long it takes if you are using the downloads as opposed to postal, thanks in advance, f.

Yep, I used them to get Ms. Windows 7, but I'd always want the original CD.

There was no real validation required to prove you're a student, other than picking a college on the online form. Probably best to pick a college near your address.
