Why PC's need help

I got this cool new Kinivo headset for my iPad/iPhone and upon reading the instructions, I noticed an interesting fact.  The setup instructions for iPad was ONE step (shown in green ).  The Windows setup was a ridiculous SEVEN steps (shown in red ).  People are not going to have patience for Windows much longer...   Sent from Evernote

Now for the Start Screen -  I hat...
