What *people* want is an OS that *works*, if at all possible, without
having to climb a steep curve.
But Gates and Jobs did not convince anyone that they were too stupid.
What they did was convince every Tom, Dick and Harry that
*computing* was *easy* when it was not.
Not by a longshot.
You know ...
The "Just turn the PC on, point click and there you go" BS.
I still have a shitload of books about DOS and Windows 'secrets' and
'undocumented whatevers' in my shelves, all worthless.

But not *only* system admins.
For the most part, *people*, every day users, just like me and every
other Tom, Dick and Harry who needs or wants to use a computer or
workstation for [fill in here] but wants to be as far away from the
MS Windows *experience* as possible.
