Vista on Aston MSDNAA! (At last)

Well guys, if you want a copy of Vista Business, then provided you're an Aston student (though it may only be for Engineering school students, not sure) you can go grab one from the MSDNAA.

Your login name will be your Aston unix id followed by @aston.ac.uk, and your password will have been given to you at some point. Search your webmail for it, and if you can't find it, contact the EAS guys to get a new one. Then, just login to the site, and press download! It's a DVD iso, complete with CD key.

It's rather interesting how we've finally got this, I've been whining at the EAS guys on and off since December 9th (official MSDNAA Vista release data) to no real effect, so I really started having a go at them recently. Yesterday I recieved a very final email stating:

There are no plans at the moment to be able to get MS Vista from MSDNAA for Aston.

And following a reply from myself, informing them that according to Microsoft, Aston had indeed purchased Vista, and that their excuse that they were waiting for ELMS to update their site was a joke, as e-academy had been running with Vista since December 16th, I got this email today:

Windows Vista is now downloadable from MSDNAA.

They're even signed by the same EAS guy.

If you're not from Aston, but you are at Uni, then check to find out if your Uni is registered with MSDNAA, and if it's not, then damn well suggest it! ;)
