If you're a student, you can get it directly from Microsoft. Although, since it's an Upgrade license, you'd need at least some disc of an older version of Windows (IIRC, I've not manually reinstalled an Upgrade copy since the days of XP)... but, it's Professional and not Home/Home Premium.

Ahh, ok. So still no dice for me then... I got a new Macbook Pro from work - which is awesome! If I could find a $30 win license, I was going to set up bootcamp, but for $90 I'll probably pass. At least until I get frustrated about something or another and start missing having Windows, hehe.
