No she hasn't. But though that might give her a Windows 7 menu, it wouldn't make the charm bar go away, etc.

But why should she go seeking a replacement like that out? She's never needed to before. While pretty IT literate, she's not geeky and just wants things to work out the box: like Windows 7 did for her.

That's the key point. It's not that she's averse to learning new interfaces, she's taken to Android and ChromeOS very quickly, it's that even after 9 months Windows 8 just doesn't make intuitive sense.

Apologies all, this has drifted way off topic. Back to iOS 7!
