There are numerous unskilled Windows users out there, and they’re going to need some handholding. You scoff, but Microsoft says only six percent of users use ALT-TAB to bounce from one app to another. I haven’t seen anything that jumps in front of users and introduces them to the Windows 10 experience, or even tells you what “Microsoft Edge” is. I’m a little less certain how users will respond to the layout, though. The Start menu’s back, and better on some ways, melding the list view with Live Tiles. I personally think that the Start menu works best when the Live Tiles are set up to deliver snippets of useful information: your calendar, photos, the top headlines, and more.
