Not my mother-in-law. She doesn't really understand what an OS is, but she understands a change in user interface.
She knows enough that an upgrade in operating system will change enough that she'll be confused all over again and be frustrated trying to learn how to use her own computer, something she paid thousands of dollars for.
I believe she is still on vista, and won't upgrade because she knows how to use vista, and that was painful enough.
She is, however, the most computer unsavvy person I've ever met that actually uses a computer.
- Jare 15y agoLet me introduce you to my dad. He still thinks the computer is the keyboard, and the big box is just the power supply and the Compact Disc player he plays music with. He runs XP. He uses IE, Hotmail, Messenger and even figured out how to sign up for Facebook on his own. Way back when, he learned some Word and Excel to track his DVDs and write his memories. Sometimes I believe he is reasonably savy for an old, non-tech person. Then I remember the time I moved his "internet" icon to a different spot on the desktop, and he freaked out because the computer didn't work anymore.
