That is a possible reason, but the Kano PC kit also seems to be sold from the Microsoft store directly. So it is not unlikely that they made an agreement to sell with windows 10.
It probably is important for MS that Windows has some degree of penetration in this 'edutainment' sector (early user adoption etc.).
- zrobotics 6y agoI found it really surprising that, aside from color and what is printed on the key caps, the keyboard appears identical to the keyboard on my surface pro. Which would explain why the article raved about how impressive the keyboard connector is, I have been extremely impressed with mine and have had zero issues with it. My guess is they are sourcing the keyboard from the same supplier as Microsoft, which isn't a bad thing. However, the extremely thin typecover doesn't feel that out of place on the surface, but it looks kind of strange attached to this very chunky Kano computer.
