I think your info is out of date, at least from what I see. Schools are going to Chromebooks because that's all the budget allows. I think it's going to be scary when these kids enter the workforce and can't use Windows office.
Sigh, yes everyone knows that ChromeOS is built on linux. That's not what people mean when they say running linux.
AFAIK Chromebooks can run Office 365 (the online one, whatever it's called now). Microsoft had to do that to try to keep Office relevant and accessible.
You don't, you get the next generation to use your product first. They start with chromebooks in elementary school now. That's the first computer kids will have and likely have all the way to grade 12 for school (after that is who knows what). Kids today will be programmed to use Chromebooks, not windows. That's my point.
