Absolutely.

"...that on deals this size MS wouldn't be willing to throw in
the server os for free? "

I see no reason why they would even stop at that. I think
they are prepared to trow in the server OS, database, and
anything else it takes. Their resources are essentially
unlimited, and their ethics are nonexistant. They will do
whatever it takes to take over a market once they've seen
that somebody can make some money in it.

To unseat Apple from the education market they are even
giving away free hardware, which they can then write off as
a charitable donation. How do you like that? We're actually
subsidizing their predatory practices.
