So is the College Student discount only for "full time" students or "part time" as well?because I have friends that go to College but still work.

1 more thing,if I were to buy a full version of Win7 Pro,could I put it on my little boys PC and be legit? or do I have to buy 2 full versions?seems kind of dumb to have to buy 2 when both PC's are in the same house using the same Internet and such.

 

Here's what Microsoft Says

Who qualifies for the program?
       1. You must have a valid e-mail address at an educational institution ending with the domain suffix .EDU (ie, leina@contoso.edu) OR have a valid email address at one of the educational institutions listed here. AND
       2. You must be a student at a U.S. educational institution and must be actively enrolled in at least 0.5 course credit and be able to provide proof of enrollment upon request.

Regarding your second question, in theory you could install the Full version of Win7 on multiple computers however if you wanted to receive updates and whatnot you would need to activate the license/copy and that would most likely mean Microsoft would notice that one key is being used on two computers and that would create an issue...not exactly sure what happens. I know that with XP if you try to update and they find your key is already in use (or not genuine) they constantly nag you with pop up notifications that your license is not genuine. I may be wrong but I think after a certain time frame if you choose not to activate your copy of Win7 the same thing will happen, so even if you could live without updates you would potentially have issues.  I know you want Win7 Pro, but this is an option
