He says the Raspberry PI isn't suitable for education because it requires effort to configure and students would lose interest and he doesn't like the Raspberry Pi Foundation..
If Microsoft had expended more effort in writing a secure Operating System instead of hiring on lawyers, then the entire commercial sector wouldn't be in the current mess where anyone and his dog can walk off with your 'trade secrets'.
