An interesting assessment, my own observation is that a lot
of people find a Windows PC really *quite* difficult to use.
The success of the Mac (remember it has a significant slice
of a very large market) is certainly based on this, and for
an even better example of what can be achieved by concentrating
on reliability and usability, look at Palm OS vs Win CE.
