They are just doing this to force MS to drop the price for the students. It seems that this is a common tactic.

1. Announce that you are making a big switch to Linux.
2. Wait by the phone for MS to make a counter offer.
3. Announce again.
4. Wait again.
5. Take MS for their last offer.
6. Move on.
