I think we are saying the same thing but drawing different conclusions.

A novice computer user could care less whether you call something an installation problem or not. Those problems are getting in the way of his USING the machine. So ease-of-installation issues are very much ease-of-use issues. And when it takes an expert 2 days to unwind an installation problem, then there is something drastically wrong with the usability of the machine.

So I don't agree with you that the differences between Wintel and Mac platforms are not compelling anymore. These things get more and more compelling as the user base becomes less technical.
