This article and many like it are very Windows-centric.  That is,
they assume Windows is the standard to be compared against.

It's true that most non-technical people have some knowledge and
skill using Windows and none with any other OS, but that fact only
makes the skew easier to miss.

It would be hard to find many non-technical people who have only
used Linux (or Solaris), but if you could find some and run a test
like this in reverse, I'll bet you would have similar results or
worse.  I sure know I feel frustrated when I have to use Windows.
And I used to use it all the time.
