If this was a basketball game, they would change the rules like they did on Shaq!
I think you know where I am going. They did. Called Microsoft a monopoly even though that is not a true statement. There are options except the options like Apple are too expensive and are closer to the monopoly definition. Or the quality of others like StarOffice did not come close to Microsoft Office, although they were very nearly free.
Way to go Microsoft.....keep the dividends and revenue growing!
Vista is the worst of them all.
people don't want to upgrade to it because touch screen laptops and pc's aren't practical for many users...it's a whole different story for smartphones/tablets though...microsoft failed to recognize this or they took the easy way out when developing win8
2.65% is about 35 million daily users. Just under 9 million installed per month. Probably double that sold to OEMs and stores, sitting on shelves. I'd guess 70-80 million copies sold.
As expected, Windows 8 will have an active daily user base of 100-150 million in its first year.
Seems low compared to smartphones, but PCs have a much longer lifecycle. Phones/tablets are disposable.
