What's wrong with that? I have members of my family who gave the computer and internet thing a shot. They bought a computer so they could use email and learn the internet. It might have been used about once a week. Well after having to install new updates constantly, new virus protection software, an ever changing AOL interface and just the weird things that windows will do from time to time they finally said screw it. It's not worth it.
I can understand the need to have more advanced systems that can do the amazingly advanced things that about 10% of it's users will actuallly need, but why can't they design it in such a way that the 90% of people can still use the basics without dealing with all of the problems or having to relearn how to 'drive' the computer?? You can drive any car on the market if you have the keys. Gas on the right, brake on the left. Turn the wheel clockwise and you go right and vise versa. This hasn't changed EVER. But cars have obviously advanced. Why can't MS figure this out?
On a side note, tonight I tried running microsoft flight sim in a multiplayer mode for the first time and after 3 hours of fiddling I still couldn't get it to work - and I consider myself fairly savvy with computers.
