To be fair, you get to do that with Windows problems, too. I work as a sysadmin at a Windows shop, and unless your company is willing to spring for an expensive support contract or pay a few hundred bucks per incident, Microsoft is not going to lift a finger to help with your problems and refer you to the technet forums instead (and lots of other software vendors do that, too).
I do agree with the "I'm too old for this crap" line, though - like I said, things pretty much have just worked for me over the last couple of years, and I do not miss the good old days of spending a weekend trying to get something trivial like a touchpad or audio to work. It was fun back then, but that was a long time ago.
