I'm at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY for the state STLP (Student #Technology Leadership Program) championships. Students present their projects which describes using technology in productive and engaging ways.
I made this observation a month or two ago when I taught a class to the STLP kids, but now that I'm here I'm even more convinced that #Microsoft#Windows has lost the next generation. My kids use #Linux at home and Chromebooks at school, and almost every kid here is using a Chromebook.
@marczak I just think it'll be interesting to see things in 10-15 years. If these are the machines the kids are growing up using, then they'll probably want to stick with something they know when they're adults. Outlook runs in a browser, Office runs in a browser, etc., so most office tasks could run on FreeBSD for all they care as long as there's a functional, modern web browser available.
Windows will still have its place, but I don't think most kids today are going to go out looking for it.
