Windows 8 Sales Below Projections

Posted by samzenpus on from the cold-cakes dept.

harrymcc writes "With early reports on Windows 8 sales indicating that the new operating system is off to a slow start, it's worth pondering what Microsoft could have done differently. Over at TIME.com, I considered several different scenarios, ranging from one in which it released a much more conventional Windows upgrade to one which would have been much like like the Windows 8 we got — except with the ability to boot directly into the desktop, complete with Start button."

    Win 7 is a resource-sucking pile of goat clusters.

    Everytime I am forced back to a Win desktop - XP or 7 - I'm astounded people put up with it!

    I have been on Linux of various flavors and OSX for so long, I forgot about the Stockholm syndrome of Microsoft's captive audience.
