If you've ever worked customer service, you know that automatically providing instructions is warranted; half the people you run into in public would struggle to operate a spoon without guidance.

Just try getting a technologically illiterate person to click in next during an install is like finding hens teeth, except if it comes up with an error they'll dismiss it instantly without reading it.

I used to work tech support during the Windows XP days. One time I had a customer call in and, as part of the troubleshooting process, I asked them to click their Start button. The customer didn't know what that was so I told them that it was the button in the corner of the screen. The customer said that they did that and the screen went blank. They'd hit the power button on their monitor.

Didn't the Windows XP button actually say Start on it?

I wouldn't. I know how to clean my nose with a spoon!
