Wow...Have you ever taken a standard computer user through the settings
of any Office suite? They stare at you as though you are speaking a
different language.
Most users really don't care about options and get very frustrated when
stuff "just doesn't work."

As far as cost is concerned, most people don't really care that OO and
Linux are free. They get a "free" version of something with their new
PC that mostly meets their needs.
Am I underestimating the novice computer user? Am I making too big a
deal out of one option setting here? If I am, I'll just drop it and
make an "FAQ" on a post-it to change the auto-save setting. Since I am
not seeing any opinions from the RedHat folks here, I think we are all
wasting out time.
