Is it legal for family member to use a student discount?

Q. Is it legal for a student who qualifies for a student discount on microsoft software to buy it at the discounted price for a family member?

A. The discount is intended for only the student. I don't know if it's legal or not, but the agreement is for STUDENT use, not for everyone in his/her family.

Original Question

What is some free stuff/software or discounts I can get as a college student? Major is computer science?

Q. I have already taken advantage of the Microsoft dreamspark program and got a discount on my adobe software. I also know of the discounts at the apple store.

I was hoping there would be a discount on the apple dev programs but no luck there as far as I could see.

Any other places that gives student discounts for computer science related stuff/software?

Thanks!

A. Nobody gives discounts to students, colleges use students as money banks. they charge $200 for a book, they charge parking, the food is expensive, and they put them in a loan hole, some as much as $100,000. they take advantage of poor kids that are trying to learn. in most other countries education is free and ppl respect students giving cheap or free food, housing and books, but in America its different.

Original Question

What about discounts through universities and university bookstores?

Q. I know that Apple as well as various other vendors (Dell for example) may honor student discounts through their websites. Even universities will have discount software/hardware deals, and university bookstores that operate under Barnes and Noble will have some discounts on laptops (macs included) too.

My question concerns how much exactly is the difference between a discounted mac in comparison with an on sale windows laptop machine like dell or ubuntu dell?

A. Apple student MacBook Discount is 10% which means your MacBook @ $1099 will be $899
There are other product discounts as well.
