Yeah this is now a common story, also for undergrads who may only use an actual computer (for anything) for the first time when they get to university. Science classes have to start by teaching the basics of desktop computing. Funnily enough, I don't remember anyone predicting this outcome when smartphones and tablets came out. It may not matter though. Desktop OS's aren't so different. Files, folders, windows, right clicking, it can all be learned pretty quickly. Compared to the rest of learning software development it's a nice gentle learning curve.
