It's worse than that. From my old school I heard (back when I was there) "all you need to do is write a nice letter to Microsoft you love them and it [hard or software] comes along". The nice letter may require a bit of brainpower, but if schools do it like that, I mean, that's the perfect way for a company to bind people to their software - you don't even need to advertise, they come by themselves!
