Microsoft certainly seems to be ramping up the help for its new operating system at the moment. First it uploaded a
"Get to know Windows 8" video to YouTube, and late yesterday it published a "Windows 8 End User Training Brochure" in its
Download Center.
Unlike the video, the 36-page PDF guide is definitely new (there’s a screenshot from April 2013) and will prove a godsend for anyone struggling to get to grips with Windows 8 or Surface. Each of the multi-colored pages clearly and concisely explains how to use a particular element of the operating system, with the aid of large, friendly illustrations.
There are pages on exploring the Start screen, rearranging apps and creating groups, information on the Charms, and changing settings for apps and your PC, and even cheat sheets for touch and mouse control, and keyboard shortcuts.
