I find it curious that this is even referred to as "matching" Apple's
price, as if it somehow represents a choice between Windows 7 and Mac
OS X: people either have a PC, or a Mac, and they're not going to have
a choice of which OS is appropriate for their system. If they have
more than one system, it's not like a the Windows 7 upgrade is going
to "stop" someone from getting Snow Leopard if the also have a Mac. I
know you're just repeating how many places have reported it, but I'd
hardly call it a "match"; just that MS is selling a particular version
of the Windows 7 upgrade for existing Windows users with .edu email
addresses.
I suppose some Boot Camp or virtualization users will take advantage
of the Windows 7 upgrade, but even those folks are already Mac owners...

Interesting enough, to help promote the limited time price break,
Microsoft launched a New Website: http://www.win741.com/
,that also tells students just how hip with Wins 7.
Unfortunately, the promotion includes Windows 7 Home Premium and
Professional editions, and is good through January 3, 2010.
Considering how poorly Windows Vista was received, Microsoft needs
something to help boost consumer interest in its new operating system.
