I thought quite a few Uni's buy IPP
especially those using opencv for image processing as
installing ipp gives a nice speed up to opencv.
Most people I know of, doing image processing use c or c++.

Must say my favourite thing now with th intel tools is being able to
take code from windows or linux and use it on osx.
Would be nice to have vtune though.
