i.e. a lot of people only know how to run a program from a desktop icon, in fact I am reminded vividly of some of Hitch's rants about incompetent clients who didn't know what a file was nor how to download one from an email.
No, the primary reason I said they need to know what o/s they're using is so they know which o/s to buy programs for. It's no use buying a Mac program if you have a Windows PC, or vice versa. This is certainly alleviated by the introduction of "App Stores" within the o/s, however.
