Look I may have been snide but I totally reject the entire premise that a "Granny proof" OS is a terminal locked down to three main apps. Heck the whole article goes through pains to say "Granny isn't stupid" but they only need a browser. I mean at this point why give them skype and email when they can use webmail and Skype via a browser? (requires Outlook.com so your mail is there to) Granny proof to me is an OS where my granny can easily install their damn solitaire or scrabble games without too much hassle. They can get around to their downloaded images, create a gallery and maybe edit a Word Doc or excel spreadsheet. Its not some mythical strawman dummy user who really just needs an iPad. Right now an iPad is more powerful and usable device for a less tech savvy user then this stripped down - non-existant Linux distro.
