Too many users do not realize error messages mean that software is not
working correctly. Often, they ignore them instead of asking someone who
has enough knowledge to understand them and if possible fix them. Is the
IE C++ problem a missing update?

Also, many users do not have good security practices about making sure
all software is updated. Linux users are spoiled because the distros
have a comprehensive package management system while Windows users do not.
