I still don't know where this objection comes from. I have been asked by non-techie friends many, many times for help with their computers. None of my friends, PC or Mac, have ever had to ask how to install an application. I consider the process(es) to be extremely self-explanatory. Apparently there are others out there who don't feel this way, and have encountered evidence of people being confused by it. I accept this, I just don't get it.

None of my friends, PC or Mac, have ever had to ask how to install an application. I can say the same thing (that no one has asked for help to install an app) but then again my PC friends have fifty browsers toolbars and five AV software packages installed and my Mac friends are running apps directly from disk images. An app store isn't for me, but it definitely fits a need.
