If you are students and you're studying IT of some sort, try to find out if your Uni is part of the "Microsoft Academic Alliance" or something like that, forget exactly what it's called, but they can give you a (totally legal) DVD with full copies of XP, Visual Studio, Visio, etc, etc, etc, all with legal serials/keys, I think they can charge what they want, but was only $10 at mine!

Exactly!

Sorry, I couldn't find any list or anything, but if you check the site for the computer student's society at your uni (Or probably better to just go ask them) you can probably find the info there.
