DreamSpark is simple; it’s about giving students Microsoft profession­al tools at no charge.

DreamSpark is perfect for students who have no access to MSDNAA. If they are veryfied, they can download Software like, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, XNA Game Studio, Windows Server 2008 R2 or Robotics Developer Studio for free.

I love the Windows Server 2008 R2. Its cool to have this installed on a second PC or in a virtual machine. You can find out, how Active Directory, DNS Server, WINS and all that stuff works.

Which programs from DreamSpark have you dowloaded and installed!­?
