What else could you possibly use? Mac? We all know mac is too expensive. Windows is the cheapest option. Nothing cheaper. Yessir. They're not fancy -they just need a simple Windows license and some up-to-date, current gen hardware to run that display...

A custom made Linux distro that starts a x server with a single program open would probably do it
Afaik there are already kiosk display Linux distros.

i don't even think it would have to be custom made, just install arch or something similar
Oh golly. That sounds like the devil's work. (/s)
