free stuff you can get with an .edu mail? - Jose"the real 1" - Jun 19, 2014
well, i know there was a hoster who gave free domains and hosting for people with a .edu mail, and i believe there was some micrisoft project where you could get software from them with a edu mail, does anyone knows where i can get free stuff with a .edu mail?

The only one I know of is Amazon Student.
6 months of free Amazon Prime and then for 4 years, you renew at $49 a year instead of $99.

Microsoft Dreamspark is what they're talking about above.

Then they're mistaken because I had heard about that and looked into it.
No free copies of Windows 7/8. Otherwise my laptop would be running 7 instead of 8.

Personally, I've got both a BizSpark and DreamSpark account which both give me full MSDN membership - I have unlimited copies of any Microsoft software right from Windows 3.1

I am a start-up, but I never had to prove anything - ever.
