Microsoft eyes older folks in Web revolution | |

For people trying to get their ageing parents on the Web so they can read email and get digital photos of the family, Microsoft has a message: Don't give up. The hassle of buying, installing and learning how to operate a personal computer remains a daunting task for a generation more comfortable sitting in front of a television set instead of a monitor, despite software and hardware advances that make it easier than ever to get online. But now Microsoft, the largest player in the market, is using those advances to zero in on an age group that wants to surf 'the Web' and is estimated at 40-million strong. | ||

I built a computer for my mom (in her 70s)
I used Linux. I have better control keeping the interface simple using a linux distro. You can choose a simpler window manager and tweak the interface. It was basically a blank screen. with buttons for browser word processor Windows is the last thing I would throw at a senior beginner. The screen is far to busy.
