I must admit I was very rude to my mother! (And I am NOT proud of it)....I watched the video after recording it and believe me it was a rude awakening for me. I was so shocked at how disrespectful I was to her. I am glad I did record this video as it has really shown me how horrible I was and how NOT to treat her. Believe me my mum is the best mum in the world and I have made a pledge to treat her accordingly. If you view our other videos in our channel you will see that I have changed my ways.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I realize I was rude to my Mum in this video...this was the very first video we did...however if you look at our whole channel you will see that I am gradually no longer rude and we both evolve to enjoying this experience together. My mum is very patient with me and I appreciate it.

She's retrying windows 8 on a Microsoft surface pro tablet in a few months. It's that that this was the first video we made and she was very biased towards windows xp at the time. Doing these videos has made her much more open to other operating systems so revisiting windows 8 is a great idea.
I have a mac laptop running Mac OS X Snow Leopard... If this video gets enough views I'll turn this into a series with her trying out all different kinds of crazy operating systems. Seriously there's some graphical ones back from the 70's and so many different Linux ones too. But I'm not sure yet because so far theres only 4 like on reedit and 3 dislikes and only 1 like on this video... Shes not so crazy about getting embarrassed so maybe 10,000 views or 100 likes and she may want to try more ;)
Lol funniest thing about that is that she is an accountant. No joke, she's been one for the past 9 years originally using windows 95 but currently using xp.
I would have been fine if windows 8 had a feature you could turn off and on called "tablet mode". Tablet mode should remove the start button and replace it with the start screen as windows 8 is right now but desktop mode should give you the desktop with the start button and start menu. Like this comment if you think Microsoft should add a "tablet mode" and "desktop mode" feature!

I just found your channel so thought I’d watch the first video. Honestly, this is me the first time I used windows 8 😂 What a terrible and confusing OS.
After a week of using Windows 8 I would say that I am not as frustrated as Mum seems to be here. But she does have a point about some of her criticisms.Two additional things to add: Windows 8 minimalist look is all well and fine but it is not very user friendly. At least in the beginning. Another problem is how the Chrome icon keeps disappearing from the start menu. It makes you wonder if Microsoft is trying make customers use their own products instead anything Google-related.
The basic problem with Windows 8 was it was entirely unintuitive for long-time Windows users, plus it gave you no instruction about hot corners or the charms bar (dreadful name). You either had to have done research beforehand to learn how to use it or look at some online tutorials. Any OS that unintuitive is already failing. No business wants to spend time and money teaching employees how to use the latest version of an OS they've been using for decades. Windows 8 was primarily designed for consumption, not creation. That was a mistake, and it rightly cost Sinofsky his job.
When you set windows 8 up for the first time it has a splash screens on how to access the charms menu, start screen and close apps. Windows 8.1 has a tutorial that pops up when you first log in. So you should know the new things that are in the GUI its not like they hide away info on how to use the system. We have had the same windows 95 style GUI for 19 years its about time Msoft did something different. I don't see any one complaining when apple switched from OS9 to OS 10 which was drastically different? I had the previews of windows 8 then bought it and then bought it for my parents. After a 1 hour explanation of the changes they knew how to use it and no longer bug me for "how do I do this?" like they did constantly with windows 7 or XP.
I love these series, thanks for doing them. Your mum shows the frustrations of most people. The simplest things can be so frustrating with Microsoft. And it gets worse and worse every iteration.
your mum sounds like me when i got win 8......still have those moments now, and i have had it for over a year, you and your mum have some great laughs, love watching her, great vids,
You didn't seem rude to your mom - it was all just playful with a tiny mix of frustration. Trust me, you're WAY more respectful than most people are to their parents. Cute videos. Great team.
The Windows desktop just doesn't feel that good on a touch screen tbh. With that said, I hated the Start Screen back then. After using it on my Surface Pro with Windows 8, I love it lol. Gaming handhelds are definitely a thing right now in 2024. If Microsoft brought back the Start Screen - and this is the important bit - ported from Windows 8 as another UI for Windows 12 or whatever, I think people would definitely enjoy using Windows on a tablet.
Well actually she has windows xp but uses the windows 95-like classic theme on xp. I agree strongly about how she may like windows 7 though because zorin 6 (based on 7/vista) is her favorite operating system so far.
so why didnt they hate windows 7 dumbass'?... windows 8 is the worse os Microsoft has ever made, unlike previous versions where you got some hate from geeks everybody at every level hates windows 8 as this video demonstrates.why would programes like classic shell be so popular? why would HP be reverting to selling pc with windows 7 due to 'popular demand'?
At first I didn't like Windows 8. I actually used to hate it with a passion. But then after about 6 months of using it, I started to like it. Windows 8 isn't that bad at all. Most of the people who hate it never took the time to learn how to use it. Some people say that it is hard to use. I don't think that it is hard to use at all. I still think that Windows 7 is far superior to Windows 8 but Windows 8 isn't terrible.
I think Windows 7's superiority to Windows 8 is all the justification one needs to hate it. Sure, you'll eventually get used to it, much like you can get used to having your hand nailed onto a stove that's turned on.

She gets it soo right, it is like a cartoonish version of an older Windows that needs fixing - all so Microsoft can try to leverage their existing desktop market to get into the tablet market .. which since release has been a dismal failure.
I like windows 8 only if it is on a tablet computer. The problem is that now windows 8 is released and many people don't like it they can of course stick to windows 7 for a little while... But guess what! Microsoft won't go back. It's just like from windows 3.11 to windows 95. A massive change yet all future versions of windows kept the start menu and task bar. The same is most likely true for windows 8 and future releases. So its either windows 7 forever, upgrade to win8/newer or change OS.
hi, how old are you that year?, it's impresive with your knowledge at that year when internet wasn't as big as now, exept if you studying computer sciences or you live in IT/Tech family
I believe he was 18 or 19, considering he is 30 now and this was made in 2012, so 12 years, but since this video was made in November and it isnt November yet, 11 years, but then however, since his birthday is May or something (idk but before November for sure), I would have to say he was 19
I have to say that I agree with Diana. She has a point with how it’s just changed. Microsoft should’ve made two or three versions for it, one focused on desktops and laptops what don’t have touchscreens, a version for Windows tablets and one for hybrids (like the Surface). She says it’s gone a step back because of Microsoft’s thinking, and Diana’s theory, and I think too, is that it ain’t broke, don’t bloody fix it. I hope you understand.
Ah, first video... Shaky cam, frowning Diana... You both really made a long way. Nowadays, when you're capturing sreen, using greenscreen, also Diana is nowadays almost allways smiling...
I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer and to be honest, I love it!!! Even though some people say the live tiles suck, you can overcome it by not going to the start menu to often....
Plus the desktop is just right there.... you can run older programs by setting the compatibility mode... isn't that easy? Windows 8/8.1 is in fact worth paid for or worth downloading
It is not wasting money but I said to use it LESS... use it when necessary ... I didn't say to not use it AT ALL, that is why Microsoft is using their common sense to make the start menu and add in the start button
But that would take a lot of time, you can acess desktop apps through the desktop or file explorer, but you can only acess metro apps through the start screen
15:08 SO FUNNY! Your mom is right, XP is great! I also use it on my nearly 5 year old Acer laptop. XP is the best operating system, supported till April 2014.
Just wanted to say you and your mom are both super cute! I've watched all of the videos in this series and I've really enjoyed them all. Especially the Arch Linux video, haha. I'm a Slackware user myself and found it really funny to see your mom struggle with the command line.
Windows 8 (preferably 8.1) was amazing, Go on, Try it in a virtual machine. I used windows 8/8.1 for years and I knew straight away when I was 5 how to use it. Its interface is customizable, pretty, It isn't as bloated as ten, Boots up extremely fast no matter your specs. Windows 8.1 beats windows 10 for me. It's just tricky for non techy people to use if they don't see the little tutorial while installing. Some of the start background are live time and spin as you scroll, I loved that horizontal scrolling, they should of never changed it.! If you disagree with me that's completely okay but I find it people base their opinions only on others opinions. Also, Phil your channel has come such a long way since this video!

hi, how old are you that year?, it's impresive with your knowledge at that year when internet wasn't as big as now, exept if you studying computer sciences or you live in IT/Tech family
It was filmed in 2012. Hardly the Stone Age. The mobile revolution had taken off big time by then
Wut? The internet was very huge in 2012. Are you getting mixed up with 1992?
I believe he was 18 or 19, considering he is 30 now and this was made in 2012, so 12 years, but since this video was made in November and it isnt November yet, 11 years, but then however, since his birthday is May or something (idk but before November for sure), I would have to say he was 19

That ending XD
I have to say that I agree with Diana. She has a point with how it’s just changed. Microsoft should’ve made two or three versions for it, one focused on desktops and laptops what don’t have touchscreens, a version for Windows tablets and one for hybrids (like the Surface). She says it’s gone a step back because of Microsoft’s thinking, and Diana’s theory, and I think too, is that it ain’t broke, don’t bloody fix it. I hope you understand.
awesome ;)
Ah, first video... Shaky cam, frowning Diana... You both really made a long way.
Nowadays, when you're capturing sreen, using greenscreen, also Diana is nowadays almost allways smiling...
I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer and to be honest, I love it!!! Even though some people say the live tiles suck, you can overcome it by not going to the start menu to often....
Plus the desktop is just right there.... you can run older programs by setting the compatibility mode... isn't that easy? Windows 8/8.1 is in fact worth paid for or worth downloading
It is not wasting money but I said to use it LESS... use it when necessary ... I didn't say to not use it AT ALL, that is why Microsoft is using their common sense to make the start menu and add in the start button
Once per month?? Dude, I said when necessary, like when you want to go to Windows Metro Apps
But that would take a lot of time, you can acess desktop apps through the desktop or file explorer, but you can only acess metro apps through the start screen
that isn't a flaw, kid
This is where it all started, now 100k..
15:08 SO FUNNY!
Your mom is right, XP is great! I also use it on my nearly 5 year old Acer laptop. XP is the best operating system, supported till April 2014.
It seems weird to watch this in 2017, But its nice to go back and see what started it all :)
It's OSFirstTimers 5 year Anniversary! (As of yesterday... (Todays Date: 4/11/17))
Gigatero yay!!!!!!
It's also Windows 8 7 year Anniversary (As of today in the time zone I'm in... 10/26/19)
Happy 1 year anniversary, Philip and Diana!
LMAO hieroglyphics!
Just wanted to say you and your mom are both super cute! I've watched all of the videos in this series and I've really enjoyed them all. Especially the Arch Linux video, haha. I'm a Slackware user myself and found it really funny to see your mom struggle with the command line.
Windows 8 (preferably 8.1) was amazing, Go on, Try it in a virtual machine. I used windows 8/8.1 for years and I knew straight away when I was 5 how to use it. Its interface is customizable, pretty, It isn't as bloated as ten, Boots up extremely fast no matter your specs. Windows 8.1 beats windows 10 for me. It's just tricky for non techy people to use if they don't see the little tutorial while installing. Some of the start background are live time and spin as you scroll, I loved that horizontal scrolling, they should of never changed it.! If you disagree with me that's completely okay but I find it people base their opinions only on others opinions. Also, Phil your channel has come such a long way since this video! I've watched this channel since I was 7 or 8
i agree with a lot of stuff you said! including ive been watching since i was around 6 or 7
@@user4333_ Any product key will work for it, Even if it isnt valid, Just search one up. Windows 10 does the same thing in the earlier builds, I know, that sucks
@@user4333_ Did you download the 4gb iso straight away? or used the download tool. The download tool wont work with product key
@@user4333_ Nice!
Agree 100%! Infact to prove it I'm sticking with windows 7 on my desktop pc and getting a microsoft surface tablet with windows 8 pro. She will test windows 8 on that as soon as It becomes available in Australia.
