An interesting article by WSJ states that the cause for the slow PC sales is the newly released Windows 8. And the drop is at the rate of 14% in the first quarter. I also read another interesting article by the long-term Windows user, Uzair Ghani, who’s ditching Windows for Mac.
Talking about the slower PC sales, here’s what Bob O’Donnell, IDC Program VP Clients and Displays said to WSJ:
“At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market,”
Bad time for Windows 8. Looks like the BOLD move did not go in their favor.
