This is not a headline from the Onion: New Windows promises setup in just 11 clicks


This is not a headline from the Onion:

Microsoft streamlining Windows 8 install process, promises setup in just 11 clicks -- Engadget

I find it amusing when a company's very best effort and marketing looks to me like a colossal failure.

I read a story, attributed to a MS employee, that the minimal remote control for a TV required 30-odd buttons; 0-9, on, left, right, up, down, volume up, volume down, mute ... etc up to 30-odd. That would be one way to approach the problem, but not one that I prefer. The Apple remote for the AppleTV has only 4 arrows and a select button and manages to perform all those functions and more.
