Dad Tries Windows 8 for the First Time

Adjust text size:


Windows 8 is regarded as an operating system that will change the world, as it bundles a wide range of improvements over its predecessors.

But what's more important is that it comes with several changes, including the removal of a “Start” button that may actually perplex most of the users. Especially those less experienced, as you can see in this video.

YouTube user “lockergnome” has created a series of videos showing his father trying to use last-generation technologies and applications, including the new Windows 8. The way he sees Microsoft's new operating system indeed makes us laugh, but in the end, it could be the pure truth.

It's not rocket science to get back to the Start Screen, but it's not intuitive either. And clicking on the desktop fish to do it may come in much handier after all.

With all due respect, when you install Windows 8 RTM it shows a sideshow about the hot corners so you don't get lost.
To conclude this video isn't what users will be experiencing in real life.
