The Register reports that many employees have problems with even the most basic computer skills. This isn't a Mac/PC issue either - they are actually talking about things as basic as startup/shutdown, and saving files. This may be the explanation:
According to City & Guilds, a lamentable lack of even basic IT training is one of the main problems. One in five firms responding to the study admitted employees have only basic IT skills and over one in ten said their workers have no IT qualifications at all. The problem is apparently compounded by the fact that more than one in 10 employers state that IT skills are non-essential when hiring recruits
