3-pack Vista Ultimate for $199? Too good to be true?

Same stuff, you just need to be a student, but I didnt notice the academic part before.

do the vista installed on retail pc's come as 32 or 64 bit?

ooh and notice how on the thingy on amazon, it says "shipped and distributed by tigerdirect" or something like that, and when i looked on tigerdirect, they have no 3 packs....

Yeah, that's a good point. If it's through tigerdirect, and they only have a 1-pack, you could end up getting just that. I'm not going to risk ordering it right at this time.

Also, that cheap academic 1-pack is an upgrade. I'm assuming from XP to Vista, though I may be wrong...
