The big difference is, people who cant cook, and mess up when they try, dont loose their credit card info, social security info, or have to take their "burnt bread" in for repair. Of course if you accidentally poison the food you die, but we can ignore that scenario.
People who are not literate are putting personal information on a fundamentally flawed system. If Microsoft could make a decent product there would be no issue, but the fact that they make a couple billion dollars every (week? month?) based off their outstanding flaws keeps them from doing it. Money is made from selling a broken system, so why not get a system thats not there to make money but just work? I install windows and ubuntu every day for customers, and i can safely say that the windows (7, vista, or xp) users generally come back after 2-3 months. no facts there, just personal real experience. That probably wont hold up to you, because you live in the hypothetical world, and there, microsoft says that 7 is the most *hypothetically* secure os ever!!!!!!!!!. i love it when they have to lie and cheat to sell their product.
