Ok, but then they do NOT have to complain of computer virus, internet
intrusions, private files disappearing as TCP port 139 is open and no
hardware firewall installed, and so on.
They do not have to complain, if they loose files in a system crash and
they are not able to recovery.
They do not have to complain, if they cannot restore the system after a
BSOD and they loose data.

Infact I have installed Kubuntu to 3 friends of mine, and they are
working great with it. Such users were not even able to reinstall
Windows.
> but the average user wants a computer that just works!
The average driver would like to drive a car WITHOUT having to loose
time taking lessons and taking the license... But they simply cannot :-)

For example because I'd like to know which security my system gives me?
I want to know if my wife can or cannot open a file of mine, and you
know that FAT/FAT32 have NO security flags, but 99% XP users do NOT
know.
I'd like that XP users know that leaving an Administrator password BLANK
make your PC completely open: whoever, on your PC or on the internet,
can access your files.
But users simply do NOT know that!
> I'm often surprised how little people know about there (Windows) system and still being able to use it quit well for work or hobby.
Yes, as I'm surpised on how little people is able to prevent damages to
software, is able to prevent internet intrusions or virus damages, and
so on...
> To be honest, I don't know anything about the internals of my tv-set, microwave-oven or washingmachine but I'm using it daily and it just works!
The day when your microwave-oven will keep gigabytes of your own
personal data (bank files, etc.) and that your tv-set will be
internet-violable and your washingmachine will have it's Operating
System to be reinstalled in order to work (or the OS upgraded in order
not to destroy yellow while washing), I think that day you SHOULD KNOW
how they operate.
Cheers.
