   See, this kind of esoteric complication is what puts off Windows users. They   
   much prefer the simplicity of going to all the different websites for all   
   the different vendors of all the different hardware and software they have   
   installed, to download new versions of all the different drivers and apps   
   and what-have-you, and install them in turn with a simple double-click on   
   the first one, click OK on the EULA that pops up without reading it, wait a   
   while for the install to finish, reboot the machine, then double-click on   
   the second one, click OK on the EULA that pops up without reading it, wait a   
   while for the install to finish, reboot the machine, double-click on the   
   third one ...   
      
   ... and after the last one is done and the system doesn’t work, fire up   
   REGEDIT to fix a Registry key or two, then reboot again and everything   
   becomes fine, assuming you haven’t completely hosed your system to the point   
   where you need to reinstall and start all over again.   
      
   Don’t you think that is so much more intuitive for your typical nontechnical   
   Windows user than having to resort to that horrible command line?
