Raspberry Pi Hits the 2 Million Mark 246
The Raspberry Pi project that we've been fans of for quite a while now has hit a new milestone: Today, they announced that as of the last week in October, the project has sold more than two million boards. Raspberry Pi is anything but alone in the tiny, hackable computer world (all kinds of other options, from Arduino to the x86-based Minnowboard, are out there, and all have their selling points), but the low price, open-source emphasis, and focus on education have all helped the Pi catch on. If yours is one of these 2 million, what are you using it for? (And if you favor some other small system for your own experiments, what factors matter?)

Microsoft Windows is the Raspberry Pi of the OS world.
In terms of performance, that sounds about right.

What an accidentally apposite comment.
Just like MS-DOS held back software development on the original PC, now Windows reins in the desktop world.
