    Gen Alpha kids getting ready for college, who are like 90:100 iPhone and iPad users (in the US).

    strange, because in STEM most software is Windows or Linux

      No one is going to switch to windows/Linux to run classroom software, especially not instrumentation software. There’s always a terminal PC connected to the instrumentation machine that’s connected to the internet to just send your data to yourself. Gen Alpha kids in the US have been raised on iPads and some are as technologically handicapped as boomers when it comes to desktop OS software.
