  24. Re:It will never go away on HP Brings Back Windows 7 'By Popular Demand' As Buyers Shun Windows 8 · · Score: 2

    The current slow take up of Win8 has more to do with Moores Law running out. Previously companies would replace computers once they were 4 years old (Varies with the company obviously) because the new PC would be over twice as fast. Now that PC performance has stopped noticeably improving companies are waiting for PC's to break and then replacing them. So now all the PC manufacturers are feeling the pinch except those who've got fingers in the mobile phone/tablet market.
