I couldn't help but laugh while reading this comment. It's so true. WTF is an average joe standard-fare windows user even using a raspberry pi for? It's a single-board computer designed to get people (especially kids) interested in computers. It's meant to encourage experimentation and exploration of technology. And...well....Windows isn't really compatible with that ethos. Microsoft is corporate behemoth that creates a proprietary closed-sourced software hindered by all sorts of crazy licenses for the sole purpose of making MONEY. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but Microsoft products in general are geared more towards the corporate environment, not the 'hey I want to find out what makes this thing tick' environment.
