I set mine (2008 vintage) up with the newest OS they would run and the newest version of Chrome, locked down an account and let my kids at them (3 & 5 yrs old at the time). They go to PBS Kids, ABC Mouse, and some sites the school gives us. My oldest's math skills have really flourished on Dreambox, and my youngest is essentially teaching herself to read faster than I can on ABC Mouse. Plus the crappy wireless has taught my oldest daughter to diagnose wifi problems :). They love taking pictures of themselves with the webcam, and I don't have to worry about them messing it up. It's on a little table in the living room where I can easily supervise, and they love "working" while I do work on my laptop.
