What is Microsoft Imagine?

Microsoft Imagine is a program through which Microsoft makes it possible for IT departments at colleges and universities to provide Microsoft operating systems and development tools to their students at no cost to the students. The availability of this program is neither an endorsement of nor a requirement to use these products by the OSU Computer Science Department; instead, Imagine is an extra benefit that the Department is pleased to provide to its students.
