I thought the same thing. If 20% of the group polled likes XP over Windows 7, you have to wonder who is in this poll.
I bet most of the people in it haven't tried Windows 8, since at least 20% of the people haven't even tried Windows 7...I know that because no one (in their right mind) honestly likes Windows XP over Windows 7.
The other problem is you have no idea what hardware they're trying this on. Windows 8 will make a lot more sense when you run it with new IO devices that support Win 8 gestures.

The writers at ZDNet just love to hate on MS.
