No, I'm thinking of the possible incompetence involved, the Cisco clean
access or whatever Trojan that the IT department installs probably does
not recognize the Windows default firewall, so you have to pay $$$ instead.

Then again, it might even be insidious even if those AV or firewall
programs are sold at a "special discount" price for university students.
It's just racketeering, think of the student turn over rate, and the
kickbacks.
