My country invested a good deal of money into this, a part of which went into providing computers to students and schools.
There still is a machine installed with this in the school where my kids go but the teacher has (alledegly) no knowledge on it and personally refused to even broach the existence of anything else but Windows. There is no formal curriculum for this class; it's mostly used as a lab for kids to do assignments from other classes while learning to use the internet and an office suite.
I offered to provide a test machine for the kids to play with and explore, even go to the school and talk about FOSS and Linux (not an expert by any measure) and the mere offer was met with distrust and discomfort.
And as a former windows fanboy - I loved XP to bits and pieces - learning to use a computer under linux makes things a lot easier when needing to use Windows. The thing does not have a steep learning curve, I'll give them that.
Until something goes wrong in windows, and unlike in a sane system, the logs are filled with gibberish, there's no embedded documentation, and the online help is either turn it off and on again or just reinstall.
The time has come to reinstall Шindows
