Heh - unless the kid wants to play games, and let's face it, 95% of what kids do with
computers will be games.  In which case it's Linux that loses.

I'm just pessimist though.

Well you won't expect "those" children to buy the 50$ games. They will probably only be
playing the freely available ones, probably flash, which have a high probability of working on
Linux. Out of the box linux has more games ;-).
