if you want it I guess you have to jump through a few hoops. heres my sugestion.

1. go to yahoo/google and search "Community college ______" (________ = where your zip code goes)

2. aply, but do not pay, for the class

3. you are now enrolled, proceed to MS's site guilt free and get your copy.

For those who has no problem violating this (seemingly unneccesary) restriction.

1. most people have friends, by some connection most friends know someone in college. ask them to forward you the confirmation email MS will send you. (this is after you fillout the stuff and log in with your Live/hotmail/technot/connect/etc ID and fill out a bunch of stuff).

2. wait for said college student to do as they are told.

3. Go to any linux or BSD distro and get the sources, they have all their source code free/libre. You can learn the same things there and if you are still interested, maybe you can learn and start to code and help...

Or if you prefer to try non-*nix, there's AROS and Haiku.
