Is it basically all about multitasking vs not multitasking? Because it seems to be true, without multitasking, there is no need to worry about spyware or software breaking the system. It's a bit like giving up, though.

As for the elderly loading their iPhones with apps - my experience is that people do that with "old school" computers too. Only then it does break their computers.

"my experience is that people do that with "old school" computers too. Only then it does break their computers."

So basically we're looking at a product that will function well instead of breaking when a typical user uses it in a typical fashion? Surely that's a good thing?

I only wanted to make the point that it is not because it is so easy or safe that people install apps.

It's certainly a good thing if people can not load the computers with spyware anymore. But there is a price, so it can not be universally said that it is worth it.
