I’m not so sure. I’ve read that 1 billion computers run windoze. I don’t know if that number is accurate, but let’s assume it is...
Sales of 100,000 units of Windoze 8 [code name: McDonald’s Cash Register 1.0] / 1,000,000,000 [Windoze system computers that could upgrade] = 0.0001
This does not seem like a home run... but then I don’t run a major corporation - or use windoze
1) Yes it is over a billion. But there is no forced mechanism to upgrade a PC. As you can see here, there are some people that stupidly pride themselves on running a 11-year-old copy of XP. Why is it assumed that the full complement of Windows machine are EXPECTED to be running 8? All Macs don’t run the latest version nor do all people that use Ubuntu.
Yet 100,000,000 of a billion is “bad”?
2) 100,000 units?
