Sorry to disappoint you about the Windows OS, it's actually a huge part of our mandate– to provide children with a computer that's similar to what they use in school. We could save the Foundation a lot of money by using Open Office and Linux, unfortunately, at present time, it might be a disservice to the child we're trying to help.

That being said, I bet a great case could be made for giving the little sponges a Linux equipped PC and how they might change the world one day. Baby steps.

Thanks again for taking the time to further our cause,
