> people who have never used a computer before

To be fair, back in 1995 the number of people who had never used a computer before was huge, so it made sense for companies like Microsoft to cater to their needs.

Today though, the fraction of people who truly have no computer experience must be utterly minuscule, so I can see that MS does not see the beginner experience as a priority any more.

Counterpoint: There was a headline recently in Japan about the fact that (IIRC) 40% of "kids" between 10 and 20 who do have a computer at home never used a computer. All they know is smartphones, Instagram, and Tiktok. Maybe Twitter. Some may be old enough to have used Facebook.
