Note that that's the text-only Windows 10 IoT edition. Text-only
Windows would be … VMS, I guess.<br>

The original Raspberry Pi was laughable as a desktop, but I just set
up a Raspberry Pi 2* yesterday, and it's not half bad. Browsing is
pretty snappy, and LibreOffice — though by no means fast — was
usable. It doesn't feel like a small machine. I'm definitely
considering recycling my old ThinkPad R51 (1.4 GHz Pentium-M, 1.5 GB
RAM), as the Raspberry Pi 2 seems faster than it ever could be. No
x86 compatibility, though, but I don't really need it.<br>

now.<br>
