He says: "The constraints are entirely artificial. Porting is easy as 1-2-3 ... So Windows XP can have semi-official support until 2019!"

    No need to buy anything.
    With the correct OS, you're good until your hardware completely quits working.
    A proper OS will come with all the apps you need and can be had for $0 and updated eternally for $0. [google.com]

    nor can install an operating system

    Kids using computers is not a sign of ease-of-use. I could use a C64 before I could read, that included typing in the obscure command needed load an app off the disk. If you really want to put forth a compelling video find one of my mother (yes, I know I'm open to an obvious joke here) installing Ubuntu.
