Windows 8 Killing PC Sales

[wraggster]

IDC says Windows 8 is partly to blame for PC sales suffering the largest percentage drop ever (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/research-firm-pc-sales-plunge-windows-flops-18926235#.UWX6sRlAv1I). 'As if that news wasn't' troubling enough, it appears that a pivotal makeover of Microsoft's ubiquitous Windows operating system seems to have done more harm than good since the software was released last October.' According to a ZDNet article, IDC originally expected a drop, but only half the size (http://www.zdnet.com/idc-global-pc-shipments-plunge-in-worst-drop-in-a-generation-7000013839/).
