I'm curious how many people are sticking with Windows 7 because of the UX change in Windows 8? Has this really been the reason for lack of adoption? I think the media are as responsible for the hysteria as the OS challenges itself. I remember getting Vista, and was horribly annoyed by all the pop-ups, turned those off, and everything was fine.
But in the publics eyes, the OS was a total flop, I think more due to word of mouth than anything else. What's the general feeling on that?
