They can't control the students at all with windows, a competent admin will know that management/consultant telling them it is better with windows knows it's bullshit... however most aren't competent. And yes, the thing is, you are the one who can fire those idiots in a few years time ;), a school is nothing without students...

Also as a plus we use openoffice in my school yet still you see a few students complaining for some reason.
