Cool video! And your dad is clearly an able user:
1) He tries different icons in the taskbar my mousing over them
2) He recognizes warning messages
3) He mentions that this is not the final version
4) He is looking for the right thing (a hidden menu)
If people like him can't figure it out, then I'm afraid Win8 will be a big flop! And I didn't see a menu on the screen either :-D
Again, cool video! Could you tell us what the solution is? And please stop your dad from turning to the dark side and buying a Mac :-) Even if Windows 8 is bad, he should not sell his soul!!! :-p

What's the problem with the Mac? I use both. Generally the Mac works a lot better.
