$40 doesn't seem that great a deal for the student discount. You'd be better off hunting around the regular retailers.
So you could just buy Fusion 2.0 for cheap. Here's one place for $29 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F5VBRU Then do a rebate of $10 for purchase of Fusion 2.0 or $30 competitive upgrade: http://ak.buy.com/buy_assets/retail/pdfs/09Q4/1028-1231kb-la_vmware.pdf then use this form to get a free upgrade to Fusion 3 until the end of the month: http://ak.buy.com/buy_assets/retail/pdfs/09Q4/1028-1130kb-la_vmware.pdf There you go. Fusion 3.0 for about $19 and some paperwork. CB Scott Howell wrote: > Okay, here are the steps. > > 1. Go to http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/academicstore.html > 2.
