"Windows has significantly set back and held back the IT industry, and
continues to do so. Windows encourages, rewards, and practically demands
stupidity on the part of its users, and further attempts to force such
on anybody who has to deal with the users."

... learning curves, and their effect on long-term usage.
* Windows causes stupidity?
* Learning curves
* Learning curves :: User effects
* Learning curves :: System effects
* Why it matters
COMPUTERS ARE HARD
Accept it. Move on. Your life will be much simpler.
Accept that it'll take work. Accept that it'll take learning. Accept
that it'll take trial and error. Accept that it'll mean just accepting
things without understanding why until further down the road. Once you
do that, you'll discover that learning computer technology isn't like
opening an envelope and seeing what's inside; it's like watching a rose
open, petal by petal... and no matter how long you watch, there's always
another petal with another layer of beauty beneath it.
