The Windows 8 Sales Data Is In, And It's Bad News For Microsoft | |
|
||
| Time: 08:30 EST/13:30 GMT | News Source: Business Insider | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Despite releasing an entirely new operating system on October 22 of this year, Windows PC sales shrank 21 percent between 10/21 and 11/17 versus the same period last year. Windows 8 tablet sales during that period were "almost nonexistent" – just 1 percent of all Windows 8 sales. | ||

| Umm... Thats not Windows 8 sales. Thats Windows PC sales, related but not the same thing. If 40 million copies sold is bad news than I don't need good news! |

#1: The 40 million were total sales. OEM purchases count toward sales even when the product sits in a warehouse. My own little shop sold a custom all-in-one with ten point touch quickly. A rebuilt custom tower with Windows 8 hasn't had a single person express interest, even with the price knocked down to $140. Not really a "sample size" at all. But, my gut tells me Windows 8 will do fine on touch screen devices. Other devices will move slower until people just buy it because enough mods exist to make it seem more familiar, or Microsoft changes the install so that non-touchscreen machines have the option at setup to boot to the desktop. The start screen doesn't need to go away. It just needs to hide. This post was edited by bobsireno on Wednesday, December 05, 2012 at 01:16. |
