Why? They're 100% correct. The average consumer doesn't want to have to
deal with all of the stuff that Windows makes you deal with. The average
consumer shouldn't *have* to deal with everything Windows makes you deal with.
They want something that's easy and quick and will have all the bells and

surf and chat and email is like buying an SUV to go to the grocery store and
drive the kids to soccer.
