Win Super Lite: Sales of Windows 8 PCs are well below Microsoft’s internal projections and have been described inside the company as disappointing. But here’s the catch: The software giant blames the slow start on lackluster PC maker designs and availability, further justifying its new Surface strategy. But Windows 8’s market acceptance can be blamed on many factors.
... but I for one am absolutely not interested in getting Windows 8.
I know you can do some crap to 'fix' the thing back to a normal 'desktop' environment, but I would rather just have Windows 7.
Which is annoying, cause I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I was browsing the adverts this afternoon, and all the new laptops are now being sold with Windows 8 pre-installed, which means they're not an option for me, unless there's a way I can just get Windows 7 instead.
I just wish MS would have the new start menu as an option, not the end all.
People like options, take that away and your likely to breed resentment.
This thing is over-simplified beyond belief.
Oh man....I would be blown away if this report turned out to be true.
Mobile/Internet is the future. Until MS takes it seriously they will not do much.
From the sounds of it, Windows 8 is actually very good at least from opinions I've read but really, even if I was buying a tablet, I wouldn't want that ugly ui let alone on my main PC. I did read somewhere you can revert back to the normal desktop though however not 100% sure.
You are by far not a techie if you don't even realize that the new UI is actually just the new Start Menu and the desktop is still there and even better than it was on Windows 7.
Release Halo 3,reach,odst and 4 for win 8
More first party support for win 8
and MS will own the home computing industry.
