So let me start off with the story of my girlfriend. She has a Mac laptop and she was a user of google search and other google services. She's not very techy and didn't hold strong views toward Apple and Google but I don't think she was a big fan of Microsoft (other than office, she hates iworks). I showed her Bing but she wasn't having it. One day she told me she saw the commercials for Bing vs Google and decided to do the challenge. She told me Bing won but she still had no plans to ever use Bing.
I had an HD7s windows phone before but she didn't take too much notice of it. I then got my Lumia 920 and she started to take notice. I showed her the different color options and she thought it was cool. I ended up with one in black but also bought a yellow cover for it. I showed her all the cool tile color combos and how the live tiles work and how the phone just stands out and she really likes it.
I recently purchased a touch screen win8 laptop and she likes using that too. She especially like the touch features. She told me the other day she tried touch scrolling on her Mac but of course she couldn't.
After using my laptop and phone she has told me she's tired of the Mac and wants a Win8 laptop. She also wants a windows phone because she has become accustomed to using it on my Lumia. The other day she even asked me to change her browsers home website from google to Bing. I never though I would hear her want to use Bing. I thought it was incredible how she has changed her ideas toward Microsoft's products by using mine for a bit.
Sorry for the wall of text. Does anyone else have any stories about friends or family changing their attitude toward WP8/W8 after using it for a while?
