It might have been easy back when all you could do was type a letter and print it off but XP is light years away from Win95 in features. Features require effort to train oneself in the use of, provide opportunities for things to go wrong and add complexity to the basic operating system.
I've spent many hours Googling to fix issues with my own and others' WinPCs.

Not so. I know of several people using linux at home. It's a small percentage compared to Win users but not when compared to Apple users.
