-- "Android, with its 1 billion user base and still rapidly growing is also by far a bigger threat to Windows on the desktop than ChromeOS. People in many countries, especially emerging ones, are already familiar with Android, and have been using it as their "first OS"."

Interesting point... I recently helped an elderly man (who has very poor reading skills and has never used a computer without help) - buy, set-up, and use his first computer. What did I choose for him?

A cheap Android tablet with a keyboard case. The idea behind this decision was that most people (in a low-income area) that he'd ask for help would already know how to work an Android tablet because they probably have a phone or tablet already. If not, he knows the basics, and it's much more simple than a PC but almost fully-capable with his needs (Facebook, PayPal, YouTube). I also locked it down so that he could get help with his financial data without giving anybody the actual password to his bank accounts (as he was doing before).
