This is not reliable as a general opinion. It´s a hint may be. A few 
weeks ago the result was even worse if I remember right. On one hand: 
Quite a few were disappointed and returned their box before this poll 
was on (check the search engines). You don´t find many private 
reviews about the XX-7, which is another hint.  On the other hand: 
Lets wait for the new OS (damn, they postponed it again if I I´m not 
mistaken, middle of march!)and vote again! I am expecting a big 
improvement after that. And then lets write some fair reviews about 
it at harmony-central, sonicstate and so on. I think the XX-7 
deserves it!
