I signed up! You can work with the full, Unlimited version. Only watermarks and no plug-ins.
This is a really good idea, considering all the warezed versions out already.
Wonder if any other companies are gonna follow through. |

| I wonder if this will be made available on the PC? How much was it to lease Maya as a student? |

It'll be available for Windows and Mac OSX.
Student prices are steep. > than a thousand bills, I believe. |

I was definitely impressed by Alias|Wavefront's decision to license Maya to students... as far as purchasing Maya goes though, its $495 with an educational discount. Could be worse. 
More info here. |

| I think it's a great idea. I've wanted to play with Maya ever since I saw it at school. But I don't like warez, so I thought I'd never get to have fun with it. Looks like I'll get a chance to! |

It isn't the Unlimited Version, the unlimited, I believe has Fur, Subdivision, and Cloth... Those are plug-ins. |
