I'm in the USA where it's a hardship to participate in normal business without windoze. It's a very unfortunate situation due to the costs involved. Also when you are evaluated for low level jobs you are generally put in front of MS office and directed to perform some tasks. If you hunt around looking for features it looks bad to the observer.

Yeesh, what industry are you in? I'm lucky enough that I haven't used windows since high school, but my impression was that OS X, chrome books, and mobile were now common enough among consumers that no one _expects_ windows familiarity the way they did during the days of the monoculture.


How about using the Android tablet to connect to a Windows Terminal Server instance on AWS? Requires more setting up and requires a reliable-ish connection but it’s lighter on resources and that connection can be much cheaper than providing full internet.

I had in mind to do the same on a Linux terminal. Posted my question here as an Ask HN but never got a bite. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16402404
