That was my thought at first, but then I realized she managed the switch from XP to Windows 7 without any issues. I am pretty sure in her case the cause is her assuming that everything will come for free because it is a Mac, that is without any learning curve. That's what got me thinking about how long it takes a normal Windows user to fully convert to Mac, hence this thread.

I agree. That is exactly how I did what I needed to do, because I asked her and she had no idea.
