I had a very successful experience! My grandmother had no idea how computers worked at all, so I set up a very stripped-down Ubuntu that didn't even allow multiple windows open. I could easily remote in whenever she had an issue.
She used it to check her email, read the news, and watch Obama's weekly address until the week she died. (Unrelated to the computer)
I feel like there's a curve of where this could work. For the extremely technically illiterate or technically literate, you'd be ok. But for the middle chunk of the population, it'd be more confusing than it's worth.
