Artificial barriers included. That should be fun. Bridging the digital gap...
one process at a time. C|Net has _not_ bothered to mention any of the forced
limitations of course... it's just a Microsoft PR delivery system... poor,
one-sided journalism.

They are just trying to get children hooked on "the Microsoft religion". Why
not give children a fully-functional system that makes them independent from
vendors and less suseptible to viruses and crashes?
