I think you underestimate the sheer dumbness of many users. For some
"the Internet" is the browser and they have no idea that email is not
the WWW. It's all the same to them: Pages in a window where you click
around and look for useful things hidden in all the crap. Even the concept
of "applications" is often hardly understood -- they see just windows
they have to fight with and learn where to click to reach something by
plain repeating what they did the last time they got to it.
