People like to pretend that being required to use to use a Windows machine is akin to water-boarding or some other awful imposition.
Computers for children are used for convenience or to solve problems. Neither of which requires Windows, or any other vendor-specific platform.

You are talking about Children using Windows as if it was forcing them to clean chimneys. This is ridiculous.
