Me: All general-purpose personal computers should be fully open and hackable. Don't dumb them down; give the users full power to do whatever they want.

Also me: Tech support would be easier if all user machines were as locked down as the iPad. Windows gives users too much rope to hang themselves.

The second thought occurs to me sometimes when handling a tech support case where a Windows user did something that, at least from my point of view as the developer, seems self-evidently stupid.
