>Also, for the installed hardware base, Windows is and has always been the most consumer-friendly operating system on the market. It's certainly not perfect, and it might not suit power users, but it more than serves its purpose. I'm going to disagree with this on the base that "A generation has primarily grown up using it" does not necessarily means "consumer-friendly". Not to say that Mac or Linux or Plan9 or iOS whatever is objectively better (although I think iOS would give it a run for it's money, from personal anecdotes regarding computer-unsavvy people), but if you had a generation that grew up running primarily Mac at home, at school, and so forth you'd be calling that the consumer-friendly OS.
