Having recently been reinstalling Win 95, 98 SE, and XP has been quite a reminder how much classic Windows got out of the way. Aside from a single, auto started Tour (with and easy+permanent opt out), there isn't much to slow you down or hold your hand.
Though for the kids it's quite unfamiliar and a bit intimidating. They're used to first-run tutorials and guides popping along their journey. Things are also more easily lost to them when not on the desktop.
I imagine the ideal is probably a first run wizard that could ask users how much help they'd like coming up to speed. Obviously this excludes selling the user's attention to advertisers, not even for first party offerings.
