Here here! Why does this seem to be lost on so many posters? Clearly they are designing something that not only has technical limitations, but they are designing it for children who may have never even used a computer before. Why shackle them to a UI that even experts agree is flawed? Let them use the device for what it's intended, not to further propagate some company's monopoly or some poster's idea of what the best desktop UI is.
