And it's not like young people are any smarter. Most of my friends think Vista is a new interface with a pretty clock and transparecy. They know nothing of what's beyond the UI, and as long as they can download music, play WoW and go to mySpace, they could care less what rights they sign away. Half the people I know barely understand that you have to INSTALL executables you download, let alone what a kernel-level driver is. We who understand what computers can do will always be a very small minority in comparison to the vast masses of people who can barely click the mouse.
