the newbies learn the hard way and have to pay through their nose to get their system running in top form again. Trust me - when it comes to PC's, you are right - they should be seeking advice on how to optimize and protect their systems, but they don't. And it ends up being costly - to the point that the initial cost advantage of PC's over Macs is gone.

Okay I should have barriers around my analogies....point is if you're going to use a new piece of equipment feel free to blame the machine if you read don't the directions first and become frustrated. But you realize computers are stupid; they just do what the user commands hahaha!
