Agree  
If I know zip diddly about OpenHAB, I’m supposed to go buy a Pi?  
If I can’t figure out what platform I want to give openHAB a test drive, I probably don’t even know what a Razberry PI is (I didn’t and I’m a kind of geeky guy)

@lipp_markus please join in separate discussion about recommended platform here:

> When I started using Openhab a couple of years ago, the only reason was, I could test on my old Windows XP notebook within just 20 minutes if my “Max! heating system” is running. And it went immediately. So for a quick start I would recommend a Windows PC.
