My comment was not about the quality of the _system_ but an observation about a sample of its users. This is only a problem for the system insofar as it does not live up to the user's expectations. It is generally true that the less knowledge one has, the more unrealistic one's expectations will be. Partly because expectations are tempered by marketing lingo. So Apple's toting of their system as "simple" has set unrealistic expectations with the least competent users. Of course it's a good selling point for Apple, and they're hyping it for all it's worth. In my opinion for more than it's really worth. At the end of the day there's no substitute for knowing what you're doing with a computer, regardless of brand.
