Okay, I will reveal my ignorance. What is it? A computer motherboard? A new fast cpu chip? How do you use it?

I thought it was a phone and I was going to get one.
The Raspberry Pi board is a micro-computer with much more limited capacity than the average laptop or PC. It’s basically a two-chip board about the size of a business card.
The design is intended for experimenters and beginning programmers, linux based, and has direct physical access to the I/O ports on the cpu chip.
I’m currently reading this forum on a B+ but will be obtaining a Pi 2 in the very near future owing to the low capacity I’m working with.
It’s an all-in-one computer. Take that laptop or desktop you’re using and compress it down to something the size of a wallet, and you have a Pi. It’s not going to run Windows, per se, but there are plenty of custom Linux distros focusing on the Pi. I have 3 of them and use them for multimedia centers in my home. They’re amazing.
