The analogy is between companies producing technically complex products for use by the general public without requiring the airplane passenger to have a degree in Aeronautics, or the computer user to have a degree in Computer Science.

Yeah, but what happens when that product is actually "inferior" to what is available for free, and the schools actively push using the inferior product? The inferior system is spreading viruses and rendering systems useless. If the end users are kept dependent on Microsoft, then they are being kept "dumb" as far as computers are concerned. And don't tell me the linux geeks spend more time configuring than running their systems, that isn't true. If anything the opposite is true, most Window's users I know, have to completely reinstall every 6 months or so.
