People are lazy, and they want things to be easy- for minimal usage
 requirements- Windows fits the bill. Sure, some things don't work right-
 at which point people either work around it, scrap the idea, or consider
 getting help. The user doesn't WANT to fiddle with settings, or
 recompile kernels- they want to plug and play. 

OK, we're back in FUD territory here. There's no need to do that these days.

They also manage to
 forget about all the time spent actually making Windows work the way
 they (mostly) want it to. 

Which if true only proves my argument that Windows is very far away from being
judged on its merits.

Similar to the memory deletion of the time it
 takes to search for that special key stroke command.

I don't know what this is referring to.
