If I was responsible for someone else’s computer I’d consider it. When it first came out it was aimed at schools, libraries, and stupid people. There are a large number of people who do nothing more than Facebook, Gamble, and Porn.

10s may be an affront to you, but there is some merit to it. MS needs to keep it Internet Computer realm like Chromebook.

I find myself agreeing with you IJAO. A low-end, store-tied, severely limited operating system can be a blessing to folks who only run a few standardized applications. They typically do NOT want to expand it, they do NOT want to know how it works.

They are the complete antithesis of my own preferences, but no matter -- they comprise a significant portion of the available customer base.

My only problem with 10S is that it should not be the default SKU. 10S should be a "lower-cost option" to knock a few bucks off the standard price. The real, complete computer should be the default product.

But then, I'm not a Microsoft Marketing Genius...
