Hello, Perhaps we are all blind men looking at the same elephant here!
I once wrote (http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/blog/floss/soft_duties-2001-03-12-12-22.html) Unfortunately, as long there will be people willing to "take the easy way", there will also be a MicroSoft that leads them to a beautifully decorated creative dead-end.

Please think about the following questions in your own context. Were _you_ ever a "non-tech" user? If so, how and when did you become a "tech" user? What would you need to do to become a "non-tech" user again? I believe that the answer to these questions will explain my point of view. As Albus Dumbledore (echoing the wisdom of the ancients[1]) says to Harry Potter: It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. Regards, Kapil.
