Video: Mom tests Windows 8, Ubuntu 12.10, Windows 1.0, Windows 3.1, Linux Mint Cinnamon 14, OSX 10.2, Elementary OS Luna, Kubuntu, Zorin OS 6.1, MS-DOS 6.22 and Microsoft Bob for the first time!

    Discussions about whether Windows 8 is convenient or not, whether it is a step forward, or a step backward, do not subside in the forums . As an argument, windows defenders like to say that “users rely on expert retrograde reviews,” “didn’t try windows 8,” “that it is almost no different from Windows 7,” and so on.

    Surely supporters of Win8 will again kamusut karma, but I can not help but share. Today I stumbled upon a video (sometimes very funny): the Australian asked his mother , who usually works in Windows XP, to test Ubuntu 12.10 and filmed the process on video. It turned out that they (or rather, his mother) tested a number of operating systems, and even Microsoft Bob!
    • Windows 8
    • Ubuntu 12.10
    • Windows 1.0 (1985)
    • Windows 3.1 (1992)
    • Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition 14 (2012)
    • MAC OSX 10.2 Jaguar (2002)
    • Elementary OS Luna Beta 1 (2012) - New
    • Kubuntu 12.10 (2012) - new
    • Zorin OS 6.1 (2012) - new
    • Joli OS 1.2 (2011) - New
    • MS-DOS 6.22 (1994) - New
    • Microsoft BOB (1995)!

    A very interesting project ( each video is about 15 minutes ):

    Of course, although the operator has developed a number of identical tasks for each test, this is not an ordinary usability test conducted according to all the rules: sometimes it asks closed questions, sometimes it prompts. But the videos are interesting and instructive. Partly very funny:
    “Is this already Windows 1.0?” It looks as though it is still loading. "
    " Oh, that’s quite logical. "
    “I clicked there, and it opened the blue screen of death.”
    “Exit email ... fails. Maybe Ctrl-Alt-Del? ”
    “Where could the calculator be? I’ll try to search in Google ”
    “ It looks like hieroglyphs! ”
    "... Google. Yes! That's what I want."
    “You have to agree with this thing. At least someone reads them? - Not."
    “It looks like a cartoon. Why do they always change everything? ”
    “Everything has become so complicated on this computer!”


    Interestingly, Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 1.0 seemed easier to it than Windows 8!
