I imagine the comfort level with experimentation would go way up with that option. What laypeople (and non-laypeople) want is a friendly operating system option for "save this machine's state so you can guarantee that I can revert to it with a click of a button if my experiment goes wrong". We've all installed that new, improved driver or update or whatever which broke things and then we had to reverse the process, with mixed results. When my brother's internet went down, he was not comfortable experimenting with the firewall and other settings since he knew that he did not know what was a big deal and what wasn't a big deal. Not necessarily a bad thing if one is not confident in one's ability to make controlled experiments that one can fix if those experiments don't work. Your follow up gives me the feeling you are afraid to try things.
