Microsoft thinks students spend too much time studying

Although many colleges are just wrapping up their spring semesters, Microsoft is already taking aim at the back-to-school crowd with a free Xbox 360 for students who buy a PC with Windows 7 for $699 or more, stating that this gives students “everything they need for a successful new school year.”  I suppose that this deal makes sense for students who would have purchased both anyway, but I can’t say that many of my students need to spend less time studying.
