It passes the 3-year-old test better than Windows 7, in a personal experiment. My son knew exactly how to tap an icon to open a game he wanted. He does not understand a mouse or keyboard, really, other than knowing what the letters are and that the mouse makes an arrow move. I would say it succeeds at being intuitive, and fails at being familiar. Most learned people can't separate the two.
- wvenable 13y agoThat's a flawed test. If you pinned an icon to the taskbar or placed it on the desktop in Windows 7 he'd have just as easy of a time.

- wvenable 13y agoMy toddler (3) can operate a mouse just fine (better than some adults). He can click on the start button, find SCUMM VM launch it, pick the game he wants, and run it. This is on Windows XP. If your son doesn't understand the keyboard and mouse it's because you never exposed him to it not because it's some great obstacle.
