I fear than for many people, the "power user" is somebody else. Better should be "curious user" "freemind user", "active user", I mean any user that don't use his computer in the stock configuration (as opposit of what my sister do, who don't know what is a program or an application!), but also anybody that have a friend or relative that can do this for him. may be simply "productive user" (without power) is enough.
I think the "productive poweruser" is pretty similar to the "technical user" I
proposed as a target in the platform strategy. The criteria I offered was
"everybody who ever bought a computer magazine", so people who like to
understand how something works, who make heavy use of their systems, probably
tweak it to some degree, but of course still need a good range of standard
applications for handling everyday tasks.
