To be honest; for a newbie Windows is absolutely fine and dandy. I have a W7 install for gaming and other bits that goes just fine :) And Linux is still too much for the vast majority of people.<div><br></div><div>But from the chapters perspective you have to think about vulnerability; and Windows is quite vulnerable. You don&#39;t want to have a laptop with malware hanging around, and Windows attracts it too easily.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If someone uses the laptop, enters their email acc details and subsequently gets infiltrated that&#39;s more than embarrassing for us :)</div><div><br></div><div>Which is why I recommend something like Chromebook - because it&#39;s very hard to make it do anything else except web browsing.</div>
