Honestly, I don't think windows is that bad of a system to hack on. Especially for kids, they're not going to be recompiling Linux, they're just going to download python and do "from turtle import *"

This is about Windows 10 S, though. Windows today is an okay system to hack on - and I say that as a Linux user who prefers to have even more control over my computer than Windows allows. Windows today at least lets you compile a program and run it - Windows 10 S will block you from running a program you wrote yourself because it's not "trusted".

  10s is aimed for education. There will be programming apps in the store.

    Yes, some silly turtle, scratch and stuff like that. I can tell you that as a 10 yo I wanted to build "real" software with real tools (even if it turned out shit by actual real software standards), not toys. You would certainly find a hater in me if I was to go to school today.
