A significant portion of Windows sales, whether it be Windows 7 or 8, are from OEM installations. I don't really think that's a fair way to count sales because it's like Nintendo saying Mario sold 100 Million copies because every Nintendo came with it.Microsoft is saying to everybody that windows 8 sales are wonderful?

Actually, Microsoft is saying they shipped over 100 million copies of Windows 8. It's up to you to decide whether that is wonderful or not.Microsoft is saying to everybody that windows 8 sales are wonderful? I read in so many places how people hate win8. is win8 a success or not?
I don't think a single person has said that Windows 8 is anything but stellar when it comes to the improved kernel. It's an amazing OS that I wish more people could use. For a few of you the OS works just fine but for a large amount of people it doesn't without some type of add-on or hacked GUI. If the Start menu was such a trivial feature then why are so many people unwilling to let it go?What do you mean by "success?" Is Windows 8 stable? Yes. Can it run almost all your old programs? Yes. Can it run almost all your old hardware? Yes. Can it run an entirely new category of programs? Yes. Has it been tweaked and refined over Windows 7?
How many of these windows 8 hate posts do we need?
Customer interests are disastrous. They do not generate profit or innovation. Customers don't know what they want, and base their perceived needs on whatever the buzzwords are and what trade rags say. The worst person to tell your business what to make is a person with money and power who is extremely narrow-minded. Customer interests do not create iPhones, they create Blackberry "increment model number by one thousand"s. 10 customers with power result in 10 checkboxes for 10 options the hundred million users with no hand in the decision don't care about.As many as it takes until Microsoft gets the message to put customer interests ahead of
As many as it takes until Microsoft gets the message to put customer interests ahead of the their own impatience to quickly transition Windows to a sterile, locked down, ipad like environment for the sole purpose of making a 30% cut of all software sold, where competition can be stifled by not giving third parties the same library and API access freedom that Microsoft's own programmers are granted.
