The average windows user is tech illiterate. They don’t know what a directory is. I work with a person who opens .docx files by opening Word and using its internal search function. She does not comprehend how or where files are stored.

Unironically one of MS Word (and Google Docs)'s better features. Its easy to lose track of where you save a file when you've got a bunch of them open at once, and the ability to recall recently opened files and search by file name is a lifesaver.
