I smell link-bait and hyperbole if I see a title and subtitle like this:
You’ll Hate Windows 8
We may all grow to love it (..snip..)
That said - my coworkers seem to be totally happy about Windows Phone and Windows 8 (all tiles/the whole Metro UI thingy) and won't stop selling it to everyone as the best thing ever during lunch breaks. I didn't try it and I'm not a Windows user during the night. While I don't think that it'll be the right thing for me, at least I seem to live in an alternative universe where Windows 8 is anticipated with excitement.
- drucken 14y agoTry actually reading the article. It is more balanced and informative than the title suggests. I feel awkward even having to suggest to an HN'er this...
- darklajid 14y agoYour implied assumption about me was wrong. I did. My non native understanding of link bait is defined as using hyperbole in a title to lure in readers. Do you disagree with that definition or with my application in this case?
