Hmmm. Fair enough. I had assumed they were likely to be floss advocates and therefore un-likely to entertain windows on their hardware. In addition, I thought that the principles behind floss software would be an important education in their own right. Peer-review, collaboration etc etc.... hey ho.
However if you look more into the storys, etc. then you'll see that this isn't really Win10, but the Internet of Things version - more like the sort of tablet code than a full blown version of Win10.
Ah, yes. I had missed the relevance of that. )-:
