I smell BS.

As pointed out, a promised cheap upgrade to 8 for those who bought machines with 7 counted in the figures.

Of course they also get the Fisher Price start menu for their trouble. Ugh.

You would.
You probably think Elvis is still alive too.
Chuckle!

Duh. All new machines are coming with it.

Complete BS. I am a field service Technician.

Those that have windows 8 hate it.

Many have asked “can I down grade?” I always reply “yes”

Many have set up appointments to do just that.

This site shows the operating systems in place. Windows 8 is about 1% (or a 4th of what Windows 7 was 2 months after it was released)

If there are a lot of copies being sold, it is because Microsoft is buying the copies from themselves.

Those $40 offers didn't have anything to do with it though.

The 60 million Windows 7's made them WAY MORE money!

another thing, is that Windows 8 comes with new PC’s, but I’ve heard that corporations are “downgrading” to Windows 7 about 90% of the time since they can do that for no extra cost.

Something is really wrong about this article.
