So when Grandma wants one of these new fangled 'digital cameras' she's
been hearing all about, exactly how does this work.

Drivers - Linux support among many manufacturers, especially at the
low end is awful.

Plug and play - is this really going to be simpler than Windows in
that respect?

Support - "And which version of Windows are you trying to connect your
new printer to, Mrs Smith?"

And given that this is an entirely new (to the vast majority of
people) interface, how is this going to enable them to learn more
about computers, especially given how basic it is.

Seems poorly thought out to me.
