Windows 8: Operating Under the Influence

595K views · 13 years ago · other · dated

A 3SheetsResearch video in which the reviewer tries Windows 8 while drunk, as an informal and comic test of how intuitive the interface is. It plays as a review and a rough usability test at once.

HN people pass it around as a funny take on the idea of testing interfaces on a drunk user, to see whether they work without much thought.
