The purpose is to take part in a software competition. If you don't plan on taking part with the competition, don't sign up.

Sign up at Imagine Cup - Home

You MUST be a student. When filling it out, you must indicate which college you are affiliated with. You will NOT get physical licenses; only software licenses for students.

Once you've updated your profile, go to http://imaginecup.com/MyStuff/FreeSoftware.aspx

NOTE: Their servers are swamped, and you might have cookie problems.

You will get the official license code and then download a small "downloader" program that will download the software for you.

Their software changes constantly, but currently available:
-Vista Business DVD (Swhwweeeet!)
-Windows XP SP2
-Windows 2003 Server
-SQL 2005 Server (Developer versions, both 32 and 64 bit)
-SourceSafe 2005
-Visual Studio Pro 2005 (including MSDN 3 discs)
-OneNote 2007
-Visio Professional 2007

Make sure to record your license code.

I'm surprised Microsoft is offering this, but I think it has to do with the specific school (high school/college) you are from. Round 2 of the competition (that is, if you complete the prelims and round 1) will open you up for access to Microsoft Office 2007 Standard. Good luck.
