>>Yeeahhh, I’ve been reading that prediction every year since 1980...

Maybe not since 1980, but I’ve been reading the same predictions. But, I’ve never seen lifelong PC fans moving to Mac in droves as I’m seeing since Win 8 came out. The only people who (say that they) like Win 8 are people who own MS stock.

But then again despite all of these supposed “I hate Windows 8” people going to Macs because Windows 8 is too different from Windows 7 to the point where they go to a platform...that looks nothing like Windows 7, Mac sales have slumped too.

The only people that have done better seems to be Lenovo.

Bunk!

Show me the studies and statistics that prove your assertions. Fact is that, even the Macs are losing ground to the iPads, and the Mac sales have either been static of falling in the last few years. A Mac is a PC, and it too is losing sales to the tablets. But mostly, it's losing sales because people are no longer willing to spend $1000 or more to upgrade a PC which is still more than adequate.
