My dad tries Windows 8 for the first time

My dad attempts to use the Windows 8 Consumer Preview for the first time. I wanted to try this after seeing Chris Pirillo's video of his dad doing the same thing, and I wanted to see if I would have a similar result.

Here is Chris Pirillo's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4boTb...

In addition, you will be spending a good portion of every week cleaning the schmutz off your monitors from where you touched it with your greasy mitts. Windows 8 is an abomination...

>> Touch screen is the way to go or get a proper touch mouse, Bill how you can use a touch phone but not a touch OS?? <<

Because a phone has a tiny screen and you are always holding it in your hands. A desktop or laptop PC usually resides on a desk with a separate monitor. And your hands are usually working a keyboard. Using a touchscreen there is stupid, you have to lift your hand completely off the keyboard, reach up to your monitor, and then move you hand back to the keyboard. FAIL!!
