We mentioned recently that Microsoft have made available Vista Ultimate RED edition as a standalone purchase, which is a good way to purchase the operating system (albeit at a slightly higher price) and know that some of the money goes to a very good cause; helping save Africa from AIDS, drought, hunger and other nastiness.

This recent report over at ZDnet lets us know Microsoft has now decreased the price of Vista RED to just $65 for students with a valid uni e-mail addy; quite a generous offer and does good things for your conscience, too.
