And those TV shows are paid big bucks for the product promotion of showing
windows tablets. I laugh every time I see a TV show pause and say, "Let's
check the computer!" and blatantly show the Win8 start page.
I loved it when MS paid big bucks for NFL coaches to use WinPads on the
sidelines, but forgot to bribe, er, provide promotional materials, to the
announcers, who kept calling them "iPad-like devices."
That said, I'd suggest your sample of "nobody likes" might not include
everyone. A relative who'll remain nameless (due to the shame) works at a
Microsoft Store and they are actually doing bang-up business. I mean, not
enough to topple Android from #1, or Apple from #2, but they're beating out
Blackberry, I hear!
I like windows 8 as long as I dont have to use that dog-ugly antiquated

Well, without the "metro rubbish" how is different from "Windows?" No,
seriously asking, not snarky. Well, not much.
