Are you sure you speak for most Windows users? At least, this hasn't
been my
experience.
Without trying to be insulting or saying ALL Windows users are so
ignorant, that has been my experience also. Most Windows users I have
encountered don't really understand the way their files are organized
in a hierarchical file system, with directories and files in other
directories. At most they know where to click to access certain things.
(A couple years ago I had a job installing cable modems. So every day
I'd go to 4 or 5 houses and run cable and then talk to the people and
see their computer and if necessary teach them how to use the cable
modem. It was pretty sad how completely ignorant most computer using
people are about computers. What I think was also sad is that nearly
everyone ran Windows. During about a year of seeing 4 or 5 computers a
day, I saw maybe 5 Macs (all running OS 9, even though OS 10 was out)
and 2 machines running Linux.)
