They sold 100 million copies (insert stupid remark about how all of them are unused), obviously consumers have “rejected” it. /s

But don’t let that get in the way of the average tech “journalist” still trying to push the group-think.

Sorry, but as a software developer, you will have a hard time convincing me that it’s not rubbish. I have all Mac/iOS hardware personally, and am a Linux/Mac/iOS developer professionally. Windows flat sucks.

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

I use windows based computers because I can make them work. and they are way cheaper than Apple Gadgets. I have learned you do not upgrade to a new version of windows till at least the first service pack and then waiting a bit more is usually worth it.

The computer I am typing this on just recently (1 month ago) was updated to Windows 7. Why? because XP was doing the job. Then I noticed I could update and add some Ram and make a few of my programs I use extensively to work much better.

I will upgrade this computer to newer version of windows some day. But it may not be Version 8. 7 is working great right now. Its the whole "sleeping dogs" theory of Desktop computing. It works for me!
