In Windows 3.1 days, I absolutely would have used Paint, if I were lucky enough to have it open my file type. If you unplug both devices from the internet, there's absolutely no question at all which is superior - Windows, hands down, no argument from me. But if you let a Chromebook get on the internet, and you're comfortable using the best tools on the internet to solve your problems... there's a lot going for a Chromebook. Someone who says, "Well, sure, but what if you don't have internet???" Yes, that's totally true and valid. But I think it's almost equally valid to ask how well a Windows box does without power. In a lot of ways, a college ruled notebook and a No. 2 pencil has them both beat.
