Haha! I love being a student of game programming. We got through our school free MSDNAA accounts, and with it a free Windows 7 Pro to install on our computers!

In Australia the deal went from $49 to now $119. What's worse is that the Australian dollar is on parity with the US dollar!
So the irony of the "it's not cheating" campaign is that MS is cheating any Australian student who takes up this deal.
