Unfortunately, for some people it's a prerequisite. They suspect any
unfamiliar pace.
"Oh, look! XP in olive-flavoured gown... scary stuff."
"OMG!! The Start botton is at the top of the screen."
"Wow! How did you make the panel disappear and reappear?"
I think people were generally taught that computers are some rigid thing.
Imagine yourself applying the same concepts to cars.
"Oh no! This car is red."
"Freaky. This car is so narrow."
"This car has just a single windshield wiper."
I guess it's all about perception. Diversity in computing is assumed to be an
oddity.
