Right there what I bolded is the issue. She expected it to be easier and intuitive with no learning curve cause that's the angle they really push in their marketing. And their marketing has obviously been very effective.

In the end, she's learning a completely new operating system instead of learning a very closely related operating system like Windows 7.
