My best friend just got a new laptop that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. She was a little worried about using it and wasn't sure about it. I had been using Windows 8 for a little bit at that time so I told her what I liked and didn't like about it. I knew she was just an average computer person. So I was a bit worried she'd be a little lost and confused. Well needless to say she absolutely loves Windows 8 and within a couple of days she was zipping around in it. This was from almost zero help from me. Sure she doesn't know all the features, like the hidden app switching bar (I love that feature, and I love just click the top left corner) and more but she zips around it perfectly. She found control panel (hell it took me a while to find that lol) and more.
Though I will admit I think MS should had spent a lot more time showing off where things were how things work now instead of just leaving you to fend for yourself. If my grandmother was to get a new computer right now we'd both we screwed. Her because she wouldn't know what to do, me because I wouldn't get any of my personal and school projects done because she'd be calling me every 10 seconds. lol.
