Mum tries out Microsoft BOB (1995)

Windows 3.1 was a little hard to use for Diana just like it was for those who used it in 1992-1995. So it was time for Microsoft to make a revolutionary interface to make using the computer as easy as doing tasks in your home. Microsoft released Microsoft BOB in 1995 to solve this issue. However BOB absolutely flopped. Watch a first timer’s first hand, unbiased/unleaded attempt with BOB. Diana was told that it was designed to make using the computer super easy but was never told if it succeeded or not till after. Does Diana repeat history or find that BOB is the improvement needed for Windows.
