Microsoft is going to argue that since most users are now familiar with the way a Web browser works, the browser will be an easier interface for novices to use in finding stuff on their own computers. And that might be true. But if it is true, it's an admission of awful truth for Microsoft: It's saying, "After all these years and versions of Windows we still haven't figured out how to make personal computing easy enough for an intelligent person to learn easily."
