You're saying that using the most used operating system from the 90's, the 00's and the 2010's, as well as the number one producitivty desktop publishing software and visual basic would not benefit a user, especially when they had a near zero cost to understand the core concepts of end user computing?

Really?

You could make a case for using Windows in the 90s (and yeah, I did; the last version of Windows I used was NT in the 90s). After that your time was much better spent on learning and using Linux (downloadable for free).

Visual Basic is a whole steaming pile of crap and you would always have been better learning to use non-corporate, non-proprietary languages and development stacks than wasting your time on that. And calling Office "the number one productivity desktop publishing software" only shows that you have fully drunk the Kool-Aid. More 'office productivity' has probably been lost to Microsoft Word than any other text-processing software on the planet.
