Ahhhh reality. Good to see that someone else understands that "best
way" and "right way" are not the same. So your daugher will not use
it because it can not do the kinds of things she wants a computer to
do. My parents won't use it because it is way to hard and don't want
to deal with something new. and most businesses won't use it because
the business world runs on windows.

Is windows the best way? Nope. Is it the right way? Yep

*Disclaimer: Nothing is best or right 100% of the time
