Well here's a few ideas:

1) Games. Mac's don't play very many, plain and simple.

2) Support. If any course he takes requires computer software, you can bet it will be a Windows based one.

3) He'll have enough work to do without having to try and sort out a new OS. If he puts Windows on it, not only is he an even bigger tool but please use 7.

4) If he does buy a mac, it will make him that much closer to being a full hipster douchebag

5) You will beat him with it for "durability testing," so he won't want something with an aluminum case

6) Windows 7 is optimized for playing porn, because I told them to do that
