  Sherlund: Windows 8 not helping to slow decline in PC sales
Time: 10:49 EST/15:49 GMT | News Source: Seattle Times | Posted By: Robert Stein

Veteran Microsoft analyst Rick Sherlund of Nomura has come out with an investor’s note in which he says Windows 8 has not helped stem the tide on the slowdown in PC sales. Indeed, Sherlund has cut his forecast of PC-and-Windows tablet shipments from a growth of 5 percent in 2013 to a decline of 1 percent. “Windows 8 is awkward in that it tries to address the intuitive ease of use of a tablet with the compatibility and features of a PC,” he wrote in the note. “For a consumer, they see no need for all this when a low priced tablet or smartphone is sufficient and they can easily learn a few alternatives to Office for the consumer needs.”
