Unfortunately? That's a *PLUS*, that is.

They can always look it up on the internet. Or go to a museum that has
a section to show what the world was like back in the dark ages of
Windows. It might even eventually become part of their education on
world history, showing how backward the world was when crooked
monopolies were able to fool and enslave millions for profit.

It's a shame Linux has such difficulty running some of the more popular
Windows applications: Nimda, CodeRed, Klez, ILOVEYOU, WPA, Swen,
SoBig, Beagle, Sober, Mydoom, NetSky, Bagle, Drivus, Randex.
