    If you use it like a regular user, it is easy.

    • Regular users just create a Microsoft Account and don’t bitch on how to circumvent that to force a local account instead. To them it doesn’t matter how hard it is, because they don’t use it.
    • Regular users see suggestions in the start menu and either right click to uninstall or they let them be and aren’t bothered. Their start menu already is a mess of accidentally added apps.
    • Regular users don’t even know OneDrive is enabled and automatically running, but they are damn glad it exists when their drive fails and don’t lose all their files.
    • Regular users will never use command line in their life, if they can’t find it easily in the settings, they will just say “that is life” and work around their problem.
    • Regular users will not update their OS on their own. When updates weren’t forced, you had tons of vulnerable machines that encountered all sorts of problems. So automating that makes it easier for them.
    • Regular users will not do anything obscure with their computer that requires the registry. If it doesn’t do something they want, rather than trying to fix it, they will work around it. Even if that means going back to pen and paper. We know a computer can do it, but they don’t.

    To us tech people, we demand the computer to behave how we want. But a regular user does not. To them it is a Swiss army knife of which they only use the bottle opener.
