Because there is no substance here. Just "do this instead" speak. I'm a software developer. My primary operating system is Windows and always has been. It is junk. A linux core is the only practical OS to run on low powered hardware such as this. And it is the only complete, inexpensive, widely utilized OS that makes any sense. Windows can barely run on modern, power hungary hardware. Applications for Windows are expensive and not built for children and too resource hungary. As to what children need. The poor of the world are a complex lot. They are as varied as any other segment of the population. There is only one thing they all need and that is hope and inspiration. This is one initiative by a bunch of technical people doing what they do best to help the poor and spending a great deal of effort doing that. It is admirable. Sitting back and complaining because they are not channeling funds through other charities and organization because that is what you would do (but don't) is petty and disgusting.
