I wouldn't endorse them to use Windows; your initial support may be
less, but they'll be calling you for issues later on, and it will cost
you more time then a crash course that would take you a few hours from
the outset and that's it for the lifetime of the computer.

I've been through this many times, and seen it happen over and over.
Don't go M$, especially seeing as how adaptable children are!
