Unless you specifically need Windows to run a program, most people would be better off with a Chromebook or Chromebox.

More sophisticated users that don’t need to run a specific Windows program would be better off with Linux.

Microsoft Windows is not your friend

Quite a few people only use their machines for emails, web browsing, watching online videos (usually of cats for some reason) or shopping with companies like Amazon.

For all intents and purposes, they could be running win2k or previous as long as they had a browser that could handle the online content and will never need the latest-and-greatest OS to be installed on their machines, not that they would notice or even if their machines could handle it.

I am currently working with one machine that has a 4Gig HDD and 256Meg memory that will never even fit the newer microsoft offerings, let alone be capable of running them.

Not going to happen no matter how much StevieJ wishes otherwise.

Linux, yes.
Chrome-anything: No!
Chrome is Google, and they own access to your data and harvest information from any of the products you use or archive information.

Stay the Hell away from Google.
