The education discount argues against that. They aren't going after college students, they're trying for the middle school and up market. Mom has a high end Mac, so Sally gets a $500 Mac just like Mom. Sally isn't doing video editing and is perfectly happy. When her requirements move up do you thing she's going to switch to Windows or Linux? It may or may not work but it's a proven technique. MS used to have a heavy academic discount for Visual Studio. DEC basically gave their machines to the Boston area colleges.
