Not really, look at it this way, students buying Mac minis are more likely to continue buying Apple products once they graduate.
And the industry average cost for aquiring a customer is right around $200 dollars a head, (that's $200 in marketing efforts per confirmed sale to a __new__ customer, and apple is probably above average in this) If Jobs is as good at communicating his taste and attitudes to the rest of the Apple executive team and teaching them to think like he does then billg might be getting a little worried right now. Especially since a LOT of these things are going to slip into all-pc homes as iPod companions, and as those of us who've been drinking this kool-aid for a while now know, having a Mac around will make your PC look positively ailing and infirm by comparison.
