Hello,

it's certainly not that dramatic: They can keep their computer and use 
it for the possible purposes.

But one could tell them, that it will be impossible to run a lot of 
useful programs on it.

It's then up to them to decide. Quite likely, a considerable number of 
them will avoid LaTeX. But I would bet, that most of these would quite 
soon quit using LaTeX also for other reasons. As teacher you can tell 
your students, that the documents produced with Word are really ugly and 
a pain to write and read. But if the students are not willing to follow 
your advice, it's up to them. I wouldn't regard it as really bad for the 
community to loose those students.

Best wishes

Alois
