I think a pretty good ideea would be to not allow clueless people to buy normal a pc with full acces to the OS.(kinda' like the way a lot of devices have weird screws so you can't take them apart) Just give them a(properly set up & protected) Mac or a Linux box with access to only stuff they need and can use: mail client, browser, somekind of media player, a multi protocol IM client, etc, and everyone would be happy. Their boxes wouldn't get filled with spyware & viruses and the techs would't have to keep answering stupid questions and fixing stupid problems all day.
