Windows 8 authors on Win8

Interesting comments on the usability of Windows 8 ...
A lot of reading here but it is interesting to see what 14 authors have to say after writing a book on Windows 8. Fortunately most of their comments are brief!

Windows 8 book authors dish on Windows 8: Writing a book about Windows 8 takes a peculiar combination of perseverance, insight, and a high tolerance for pain. Those who write books about Win8 get to dig into the heart of the beast -- they're exposed early and often to inconsistences and difficulties, and they're tasked with making the hard parts of Win8 accessible to regular people. Along the way, book authors acquire an enormous amount of experience with how the product actually works, going far beyond the stunted feature lists, glib reviews, and sound bites we've all come to expect.
