I knew this was a bait, so I'm biting. I believe what senior citizens find difficult is not Linux or Windows. It is how to navigate through the desktop with a mouse, simply because the mouse is not designed for old folks with not so nimble hands. Another problem is that no matter how hard they try, old folks do not realize that cut-and-paste as a paradigm works for any file/directory/device to any file/directory/device. And this goes for so many nice features that we take for granted, but which old folks do not easily "accept" because this "thing" is just too new for them.
