    3.0 out of 5 stars Its a Student License, 30 Jul 2005
    This is exactly the same product Microsoft have been selling since Office 97/Windows 95 student licenses, they've changed the name to Student/Teacher License because they allow teachers to buy the licenses too now. It's the license for home use by any student or teacher, you used to have to get a form signed by your teacher to say you were a student. This is the official page relating to student licenses :

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, 8 Sep 2007
    By Mr. R. F. Shurvinton "shurvinton" (Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This academic priced upgrade is exceptional value if you want to upgrade from Windows 98SE / Windows Millenium / Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Home, especially if you are wary about the new Vista operating system.

    Either a direct upgrade or a clean install can be done with this disk.

    If you still feel you'd prefer Vista, there is an academic priced retail upgrade version of Windows Vista Home Premium available, although sadly not seemingly currently available from Amazon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cheap
    Just buy it and use it even if you're not a student, they'll never catch you if you don't tell anyone (only Joking - or am I...)

    4.0 out of 5 stars If you've got to buy it, this is the cheapest way
    The above reviewer is completely incorrect - students (as well as their institutions) can buy the Windows XP Student Teacher Edition. The clue, as they say, is in the title. Read more
