Even as easy as it has become, LyX 1.3.6 for Windows is beyond
99% of Windows users. They are not used to reading, nor do they
want to learn, to read documentation.
Then they shouldn't bother with computers . . .
Seriously, even new versions of the windows os itself tends to change
so much that the user needs to learn a lot.
I can't remember if the content of http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136
is repeated in an Install or Readme file accompanying the release. Also
since it is the first officially supported release of Lyx for windows,
there
should be no expectation of being even nearly "fully featured".
Of course, it is possible to make an alternative lyx for windows package
wich includes everything, even latex. That'd be a "lyx for dummies"
package,
while the current package still is nice for those who have latex and
other stuff already. Windows could use a decent package management
system. :-)
