As far as operating systems go, MS-DOS did more to encourage my technical knowledge than Windows ever did, and I stopped using DOS around the time Windows 98 came out.
But people who are drawn to tinkering probably wind up with better uses for their mental energy when they have easy-to-use operating systems. Pretty much everyone who has an iPad also has access to a machine they can do development on.

To be honest - it feels ridiculous that the iPhone seems to need a computer so much. And I would imagine the iPad (or perhaps the iPadHD/iPadCamera/iPadNextGeneration) will feel slightly the same way.

I didn't until recently, when I had to start working on a project who's purpose is to automatically build iPhone projects. I can't tell you enough how much it sucks not being able to run "xcodebuild" on top of a Linux machine.
