Makeuseof - Has Windows 8 failed? People who dislike Windows 8 generally say it is. But has Windows 8 really failed in the marketplace, or do we just think Windows 8 has failed? We’ll try to look at some actual metrics and see whether Windows 8 has failed or not.
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft responded with Windows 8 and its Surface RT tablet.
In the earliest days of the Surface, it was hard to shake the notion that the line was something of a reference design for Windows 8.
Windows 8 sucks as much as xbox one
Windows 8 is a success. In fact alto of Ms products are doing well at the moment. They have Xbox windows phone office and more all selling well in some hard markets but just because they don't sell as many as some of other bits of software on the market people call it a flop.
If you look at the tablet market for example it is donated by apple. But Microsoft have managed to get 7.5% of the tablet market with limited tablets out there and in a short time.
The surface rt sold over 1 million in its 1st 3 months on the market. It was only available in a few markets and in one or 2 shops in each market yet the 1st android tablet the xoom only managed 200thousand sales in its 1st 12 months on the market and it could be bought in most markets and shops.
Its the same with windows phone and Nokia. The market is growing very well and each quarter is getting better and better.
The problem with the media and people now a days is of something dose not sell as well as the market leader or its last product it is a flop but people need to look into what's going on around it before saying its a flop. Look at the ps3 that was considered a flop when it came out but now it is selling well. The same was said about the 3ds and now the Wiiu and psv are getting the stick.
Not everything can be an over night success sometimes it takes time to get there and for me windows 8 will become a big success over the next 3 years in fact its already out sold chrome, osx and Linux in its time on the market but you don't see the media calling them a flop.
Windows 8 sucks and the only reason for its success it's because of the monopoly, because the truth is that people doesn't like it.
The interface killed the 8. Xp king.
