Another anecdote as well: I hate to use the Mom cliché, but after years of trying to get my dear mother to use a desktop-based UI for basic stuff like email, web-browsing, I just got her an iPad. (In this case, an iPad Mini 2). Because there&#x27;s much less to customize, there&#x27;s much less to mis-configure, and she&#x27;s been happily using it for some time. I don&#x27;t think she&#x27;ll ever go back to a desktop&#x2F;laptop. (She actually prefers the smaller mini size, and says it&#x27;s easier to hold)
