Microsoft believes Windows 8 is so simple to use even an 11-year-old can teach you

Much has been made about whether Windows 8 is intuitive enough for new users to pick up. Microsoft Portugal is hoping to win you to its side with a new publicity stunt that brings in an 11-year-old to explain the new operating system to prospective buyers.

As you can imagine, the end result is quite different from trying to learn Windows 8 when drunk or letting your dad take it for a spin.
