A strange weakness in all MS Windows versions

It contains no real/decent programming language, unlike ms-dos that did contain QBASIC, and the C64 which also contained BASIC.

Something is better than nothing.

How will "our" kinds now learn to program ?! It's a bit strange.

I would recommend Microsoft to think about what they could add to Windows to make Windows more KIDS friendly.

Maybe some "sandbox" so they can play in that, might make parents feel more at ease.

Right now I would not recommend kids taking place behind Windows, to much risk of damage.

A special environment might be nice though. I do believe this should be build in so kids can have some fun too =D

Sandbox does deprive them a little bit from learning the true system underneath it, but in time they might "shed" their sandbox and learn the real windows =D

Bye for now,
Skybuck =D
