You find it humorous that people who know nothing about computers and feel
no need to learn about it trust someone (or an entity) that is supposed to
(in their eyes) know things about this and support them?
Interesting.. I find foolish activity sad, not humorous in most cases. All
these users have to do in most cases in learn a minimum of standard
practices and their systems will work find. A couple of hours a month (or
less) will maintain their systems quite well. Many of these standard
practices can be automated. Most of them are common sense (you don't pick
up every free item and make it a part of your car or your home, why do it
with your computer?) It's a lack of concern and (in turn) knowledge that
makes these updates difficult. Microsoft cannot predict what an individual
user will have done to their system, what hardware they will have, etc.
