I hope the deal sticks around b/c in the fall, I'll have another .edu from another University. $30 is CHEAP!
From what I can tell the customer rep asks for the email and tests to make sure it's active(ie: it can receive emails) and then asks for the rest of your order info. At the end you'll be told that an order confirmation email has been sent and that's all. You don't even need actual access to the email address, it just has to be able to receive the email from microsoft.

When I logged on to my account there were over $1000 in charges for W7 pro pending!! Needless to say I called them back and had them cancel the first 2 orders. Which took all of 30 seconds to show up as cancelled on my account. Thank god for a phone rep that actually speaks english!! She actually asked ME " how did she (meaning the other rep) do this?" I said "HEY! its your guys employee, you tell me."

totally F'ed up.
I've found that if a customer rep seems clueless, tell them you'll call again later, hang up and redial and wait for a competent person to answer.
