In a move that can easily be described as “catch them while they’re young”, Microsoft will give students in the UK and US an excellent discount on the Windows 7 OS.

The students with a college or university e-mail address will be able to purchase Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional for £30/$30.

The offer stands until 3rd of January 2010 whereas Canada, France, Germany, Korea and Mexico have also been said to receive the same offer but with adjusted pricing at a later date.

Students who are interested in the offer can find out more here (UK) and here (US).
