A big part of why Chromebooks are so intriguing is because it comes with a respectable, free office suite. And it'll be a lot easier to convince schools to buy into W10S if they don't have to tack on an Office 365 description. I feel like that would be essential to making W10S a success in schools.

What about Office Online app from Windows Store ?
Is it comparable ?

I never have to use it as I have Microsoft Office 2007.

If I'm not mistaken, Office Online does require a constant internet connection which could present a problem for certain schools but might have problems getting a reliable connection throughout the building.

Not pre-installed, but ..........

Source :
Microsoft adds a major reason to choose Windows 10 S over Chromebooks


Excerpt :
Microsoft has announced the full fat desktop version of Office (the Win32 software) is coming to the Windows Store.

Related: Surface Laptop vs MacBook Air

That means folks will be able to use it offline, unlike Chromebook users who’re restricted to Office Online.
