Indexes a blog archive from Marshall Brain, who comes to the conclusion, in relation to the amount of time wasted in reparing computers: "this is just nuts". Having spent a substantial time of my holidays on exactly this issue, I can sympathize -- and this is from people who, prima facie, are supposed to know about this stuff.
And then we wonder why the mythical "average user" gives up or operates an insecure and poorly performing system. I think that Brain's main point -- that we should have a secure and easy-to-use operating system by right -- has a lot going for it, and as I have suggested before, the first manufacturer to realize this will make a bundle.
