ZDNet Proclaims "Windows: It's Over"

[wraggster]

"You can think Windows 8 will evolve into something better, but the numbers show that Windows is coming to a dead end (http://www.zdnet.com/windows-its-over-7000013964/). ZDNet isknown to take the side of Microsoft (http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,2806,3574,00.asp) in the past. Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols explains 'The very day the debate came to an end, this headline appeared: IDC: Global PC shipments plunge in worst drop in a generation. Sure, a lot of that was due to the growth of tablets and smartphones and the rise of the cloud, but Windows 8 gets to take a lot of the blame too. After all, the debate wasn't whether or not Windows 8 was any good. It's not. The debate was over whether it could be saved.'"
