Yes it must be difficult for a newbie to go down to a store and talk to a real live person who is able to tell them what software they need.. I must admit for some people it is hard to put a CD into the drive and then follow the on screen instructions.. oh wait,, did you forget that people buy software from stores?? Stores that have people that (sometimes) know what they are talking about and can point people in the right direction.. Or do you expect people who have never used a computer to know what a spreadsheet is, or burning software, or better yet a browser??
now I do wish that XP had a central store for freeware that would allow for the same ease when downloading software.. but if you did this for pay software you would have a monopoly.. you know what that means.. that means that they could charge you what ever they liked and you would have to either pay for it or do without.. Oh also most small developers would probably get cut as well because they wouldn't be able to pay to play..
Perhaps you should think things through before you make such a one sided statement..
