Is windows simple enough that a middle-aged person can easily grasp by him/herself you think?
It sometimes puzzles me about people of that generation. Take like my dad for example. Each time he MUST use internet explorer eventhough I have tried hard to get him to use firefox so that we can avoid all the spyware and ads shit. But he refuses to because he says he is use to IE and be a waste of time to learn another browser. Also the concept of like minimizing a window or like simple copy/pasting is like soo hard fo him. Not to mention the fact that the moment you re-arrage the desktop icons just slightly, he starts to get totally lost. Heck he STILL hasnt known how to properly open/save a Word Doc. Each time ask me or my siblings to do it. It just boggles me sometimes. I doubt changing to a Mac OS system would make like simpler. Nor changing to a Linux system.
Mind you, I have seen other middle-aged and older people who are able to easily grasp all these simple computer concepts.
