I watched my mother attempt to deal with Windows 8 and she was quite confused by it. What makes it worse is that Microsoft (and most others) are now actively trying to get users to sign up to things they don't need to and make this the 'easy' path. My mother is smart enough to know not to randomly sign up to things but this means she now has to try and navigate the 'advanced' path through a UI.
