And that's not really a bad thing either.
I agree that it is probable that some people (everyday Joes) prefer their computers to run and work without tinkering with configuration files, to install paid and polished applications instead of free and beta/alpha ones....

But I don't consider it to be a good thing, and I hope that everybody, even everyday Joe, wants to own his device fully and tinker with it, rather than lease it from Nokia and conform to all its rules and limitations until a next device comes out to replace the old one.
