Given that Windows/Office is so common in the workplace and obviously has device management sorted to the fullest extent, what is the reason schools don't use Windows devices?
Surfaces cost too much presumably? but are there not cheap Windows tablets that get support simply by being Windows?
Does WIn10S (mode) allow a cheap Chromebook type machine to be used?
Having a proper machine with stuff on it (like Office) must reduce the network overhead and keeping them up to date is all automatic.
Having seen the extent to which corporations can control every level of the device and remote access it etc. it seems like a no-brainer.
Always assuming the Apps exist I suppose.
Maybe MS don't care enough at that level, as long as they give free/cheap Office to Students later, they will have them as adult customers I suppose.
