There actually aren't any Windows 8 tablets (nor any Windows 8 devices of any kind) in the market now.

It's a valid point but it's at least a year early.

The author seemed to be talking about devices of such a form factor, presumably after discarding options like the Asus Transformer (+Prime +Infinity). Windows 8 is only one small part of the equation, and there have been zero compelling examples of it on a device such as what the author described. Not to mention that as an OS it certainly hasn't proven itself yet.

Its hacker news. What do you expect? Not many Windows users here.

So? I posted that from a brand new MacBook Pro. Doesn't mean I've lost my ability to reason objectively or that I need to trash the opinion (passive-aggressively, of course!) of those who like Microsoft or Lenovo or whatever. OP made a valid point about Windows 8 and (you're right, what do I expect; it's Hacker News) it got downvoted for that simple reason. I think it got downvoted because it was a cogent point. Bullshit.
