How real people will use Windows 8
Apr 4, 2012

I saw this video referenced in a recent article about Windows 8. I've got to admit, it's probably very close to what is going to happen if Microsoft releases Windows 8 as is (no Start button, etc.).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4boTbv9_nU

IOW, Microsoft is out of touch with reality if they think that average computer users are going to be comfortable with the new User Interface in Win 8.

Vista will look like a huge winner in comparison to Win 8 if Win 8 is released as is.
