Sounds like human error to me. My two young children seem to handle Windows just fine without me having to constantly monitor their machines.
Edit: what? my anecdotal evidence isn't as good as everybody else?
- jakobegger 10y agoYou should know that anecdotal evidence is frowned upon on Hacker News when it doesn't support conventional wisdom.

- sqeaky 10y agoI thought his anecdote was the conventional wisdom? It lines up pretty perfectly with my experience swapping in Ubuntu for Mac OS. When I have a problem I can troubleshoot it down to a specific line of code or piece of hardware, on windows.... well, I would rather not troubleshoot anything on windows.

- greedo 10y agoDo you have corporate issued/managed anti-virus, threat detection, disk encryption, VPN, fileservers and managed printers? If so, your kids are well equipped for life in the corporate IT world.
- talmand 10y agoYou mean every person on here that's doing the usual whining about computers being hard fits that description? Seems to me there's just a lot of complaints just aimed at a specific OS for reasons. Also, I'm fairly certain drivers and anti-virus is not exclusive to the corporate environment.
