I've actually noticed the opposite. Techies seem to largely think "eh, interesting but I'm not interested" while regular consumers nearly pass out ranting about it. That's my take-away from talking with coworkers/peers, and my extended family.
The sales figures probably bear this out.. it isn't techies avoiding Windows 8 that is causing those poor numbers.
