Odd, but I see business users as having more in common with Eric's "Mom" than with hackers. There are jillions of custom business apps that don't give people files to manipulate: There's a client app or a web page and a database on a server somewhere stores the data. Salespeople and customer service reps and what-not just use the apps just as an iPad owner might 'just use' a program.
