The average person doesn't even want Windows. They want to click a button and not be bothered with the implementation details.
That is why mobile/tablet is such a popular form of compute these days. People don't even have to learn the basics of interfacing with a file system most of the time. Want to look at pictures you've taken? You can be oblivious to the fact that your camera app puts picture files in a specific directory and embeds a date code in the file name, the photo viewer app takes care of that for you.

- auggierose 1y agoWho is Jarvis?
- OJFord 1y agoI think it's a (fictional) AI assistant in Iron Man.
- Izkata 1y ago15 years ago almost everyone would recognize the name because of the popularity of the Iron Man movies. 10 years ago Jarvis became a part of Vision in Age of Ultron and effectively no longer exists in the MCU. A variety of new AI assistants with new names were made in later movies. None of the new ones became as recognizable, and I guess Jarvis is also falling into obscurity.
- OJFord 1y agoDon't read too much into my only vague awareness (or person I responded to's unawareness) - I think I've seen one Iron Man film, or maybe only bits of it even. I'm just not into all that Marvel/DC/superhero stuff. (And as a student I Saturday-jobbed at a cinema, so there's a certain era for which I've seen at the very least many odd scenes out of order for essentially all widely released films...)
