Microsoft 'touches 16k shop workers' to flog Windows 8 hard | |

Microsoft says Windows 8 PC sales were cursed by the unholy trinity of a slow economy, incursions by Apple and Android tablets, and the "ambitious" user interface design. But the software giant insisted it is working with retailers and manufacturers to supply hardware that people actually want in time for the peak sales season this spring. Microsoft pushed touchscreen-fitted computers at the launch of Windows 8 to show off the operating system's new touch-driven user interface. But distributors said the availability of said tablet-cum-laptops was poor - and the number of shipped units did not improve before Christmas as PC makers forecasted a shrinking market. | ||
