"But don't take my word for it. Download the free Release Preview and try Windows 8 yourself." Does this sound like marketing to anyone else?

"But don't take my word for it. Download the free Release Preview and try Windows 8 yourself."
Does this sound like marketing to anyone else?
- zachwill 14y agoTo me, it came off along the same vein as Daring Fireball, but in a worse fashion — a little too pro-Windows and the new features.
- tikhonj 14y agoI can certainly see how this is like Daring Fireball: he does neglect to talk about any downsides. But I can't imagine how this is worse, except that it's about Windows rather than OS X. Personally, I find Daring Fireball significantly more smug and annoying--unlike this post, Daring Fireball also likes to constantly rag on Android and implicitly assumes almost everything Apple does is perfect.
- rewind 14y agoSo anytime someone is excited about a product and says "I love it; you should try it!" they're a shill? If your customers used your product and told others to do the same, would you have the same opinion?
- MattSayar 14y agoTo me it sounds more like he wants you to form your own opinion.
