Video: Mom first 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!

Discussions about whether Windows 8 is convenient or not, is a step forward, or a step backward, do not abate in the forums. As arguments, windows advocates like to say that “users rely on reviews of experts in retrogrades,” “did not try windows 8,” “that it is almost no different from Windows 7,” etc.

Surely, Win8 supporters again zaminusyut karma, but I can not share. Today I stumbled upon a video (in some places very funny): an 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)!

Very curious project ( each video is about 15 minutes ):

Of course, although the operator has developed a series of identical tasks for each test, this is not the usual usability testing, conducted according to all the rules: sometimes he asks closed questions, sometimes prompts. But the videos are interesting and instructive. In places it is very funny:

“Is it already Windows 1.0? It looks as though it is still loading. ”
“Oh, it’s quite logical here.”
"I clicked there, and it opened the blue screen of death"
“Leave email ... does not work. Maybe Ctrl-Alt-Del? "
“Where can there be a calculator? I will try to search in Google "
"Looks like hieroglyphs!"
"... Google. Yes! That's what I want."
“We must agree with this thing. Does anyone even read them? - Not."
“It looks like a cartoon. Why do they change everything all the time? ”
"On this computer, everything has become so complicated!"
