This document provides instructions for students to get free Microsoft software through DreamSpark. It explains that students must first verify their student status by logging in with their Windows Live ID and then selecting their school to confirm they are a current student. Once verified, students can download and install any of the available DreamSpark programs for personal use and learning. The downloads are large so an download manager is used, and some programs come as ISO images that need to be burned or mounted. In the end, DreamSpark offers many design, development and IT programs for free to help students learn and develop skills.
