Another few months and Windows 8 will overtake the combined web market footprint of all OS X versions. Meanwhile, Windows still accounts for a massive 91.51% share of the world's desktops.

I just built a new computer ... It's running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Sorry, Microsoft. Your shiny new toy has a lot to prove before I spend any money on it.

No mention of 7...at least at first.

I don’t know who they are polling but every person I’ve met with a new computer running Win 8 says it’s absolutely awful!

... thought nobody liked Vista.
Just got my first tablet to play with. Comes with Windows 8, supposedly I (the consumer) should love it more than the normal desktop thing-ie.
So far I am not too impressed, we’ll see.

Windows 8 had 5.1 percent of all desktop OS web traffic in June
Any mention of how many were stuck with Win 8 that came bundled with the new desktops they purchased? In other words, Win 8 by default or by choice?

Usage statistics are completely worthless and meaningless as when you go to purchase a new laptop/desktop from many Mfgs, they will only sell Win8 which is crap.
It is not a poll when you are forced into an answer.

I’m giving my wife my incredibly stable desktop with XP, so she can do some online classes without dealing with a screwed up laptop her administrators won’t fix. The parts to build a new desktop for me will be in by next week, and I’m going to try Win 8. I figure if I hate it, I can always go back to XP, or Win 7, but curiosity has the best of me.
