"Perhaps most tellingly, only 26 percent of the 50,000 surveyed say they've actually used Windows 8"

Sounds like a great survey.

Flagged for pure bullshit... misleading title, bullshit linkbait article, ignoring servey results to the point of making things up.

"So what's so wrong with Windows 8 it's already turning off users? According to the survey, price is at the top of the list with 35 percent saying it's Windows 8's most glaring weakness. The downloaded Windows 8 upgrade has been given a promotional price of $39 until January 2013"

Really, people, the price is what you're going to complain about the most? I am truly baffled.

If 20% people are still voting for Windows XP, I am not sure if all of them have used Windows 7 and 8. I would take the results with a pinch of salt.

Q: Why is a book news/review site publishing AOL-quality fluff pieces on tech news?

A: Oh they hired a huffpo author.

Probably, except it'll be more like 4 years
