I have a friend at Waterloo and when he told me about that I was pissed lol. Yes Waterloo has a special deal with Microsoft (or they pay for the right distribute). Many schools get discounts on software for students but very few are as good as Waterloo. The Microsoft student deal is available regardless of what school you go to (as long as it's on the list).
I know Vista was offered free at Waterloo but is Windows 7 as well? If so I'll have to bug my friend for an extra copy since he only uses linux.
