On the other hand, if your workers produce Office documents (which pretty much all of them do) then you can give them Surface RT machines where they are in theory* using the same Office so don't need retraining. They also produce documents that fit right into your workflow without the screwups you get with alternatives. Maybe the long term goal is Modern versions of Office apps but the Office port is probably an essential bridge to it. * In theory because they may be most familiar with Office 2003 or whatever, and now they're faced with something that looks completely different.
