“If you haven’t been living under a rock for the last few months, you probably know all of the following:”
Whenever I see articles starting in this manner, I suppose that:
1. The writer does not know how to write; or
2. The writer is so far immersed in their topic that they have lost sight of what is important and relevant to the rest of the population.
In either case, I stop reading.
Am I wrong? (Genuine question, not rhetorical!)
- bp_ 15y agoI apologize for sounding condescending. However... the blog is for superuser.com, this is hacker news and I'd say the audience probably does know that Windows 8 and Metro do, indeed, exist :)
- rbanffy 15y agoMaybe, but a lot of us never touched Windows Vista, 7 or 8 and a lot of those really don't care about desktop OSs. You must also be aware that there are people who never used Windows. Ever. Also, "super user" is a term normally associated with Unix systems. It's odd to expect people to associate it with Windows.
