before it becomes like Windows, where users are afraid to install anything new or off-brand.

Is that even true? I keep hearing how Windows users are not selective enough about what they install.

Sure, but it’s true for some people. Wasn’t there a story about someone’s mom who was afraid to install programs on the PC but enjoys installing apps to her new iPad? Now substitute a Galaxy Tab for the iPad and have her read a story about Android app malware in her Reader’s Digest.

Fantastic results like these are why scientific studies all use "someone's mom" as a sample size.
