Isn't "liking" Windows 8 less than Windows 7 an emotional reaction?
- divegeek 12y agoI like a $20 bill more than a $10 bill. Is that an emotional reaction? No, it's an objective value judgement based on the fact that the former is more useful (roughly twice as useful) as the latter. The word "like" merely expresses preference. It's neutral as to the basis of the preference, which may be emotional, rational or some combination.
