File:Mum tries out Windows 8 (2012) on a Surface Pro (2013)

Description[edit | edit source]

Here we go, another Tablet OSFirstTimer Video! This time Diana tries out Windows 8 on the Surface Pro... Let's just say this video went much smoother than the first ever OSFirstTimer video where Diana tried Windows 8 on a desktop computer. She definitely feels Windows 8 is optimally run on a tablet PC as opposed to a desktop computer.

More info on the Surface Pro here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Surface Don't forget to visit the OSFirstTimer forums here: http://osfirsttimer.freeforums.org/

Tasks Given: - Turn on the Surface Pro and log in - What time is it? - Write, save and open a text document - What's 7.6 septillion - 3.4 quintillion - Change the desktop background - Change the Start Screen Background - Explore the operating system yourself - Turn off your computer

The mother in this video uses Windows XP (2001) as her main OS duel booted with Elementary OS (a fast Linux distro). Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as OS/360 (1966)? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.
