I would also like to second this. My sister is a nurse, and she calls
me from time to time to ask for help on her *work* computer, which is
running Windows.
Also, I just visted the doctor and we were talking about their software.
The computer *in his office* where he keeps his records about me, which
he entered as he was talking to me, runs Windows.
As Shap mentioned, these are as multipurpose as they get.
