Windows PC sales have been declining for a little while now and Microsoft was really hoping that with the debut of its new operating system, Windows 8, sales would quickly rise. Analysts even suspected that many customers were holding out for a new Windows 8 PC. Well, it's been four weeks since Windows 8 hit shelves and PC sales have actually gone down. Yep, they're all cashing out on Macs. Here are the top 10 facts you need to know about the recent decline in Windows PC sales.
1. Windows PC Sales Down 21%
According to NPD Group, Windows consumer sales are down an overall 21 percent for the month of November. Since the launch of Windows 8 on Oct. 26, laptop sales are down 24 percent and desktop sales are down 9 percent compared with the same period last year.
2. Windows 8 Didn't Help
Windows 8 looked like a promising revamp of the Windows operating system with its use of Live Tiles and other new features, but the new OS didn't perform as well as they hoped. The touch screen optimization of Windows 8 was designed to attract younger users with a colorful appeal, but it might have just confused traditional users who are used to using a keyboard and mouse. The Windows 8 operation system was made for touch screens. Literally tons of new tablets and tablet/laptop hybrids were designed for the new operating system. If sales don't rise in PCs soon, a lot of cool new PC designs will go to waste.
tilastokäppyrä on karun näköinen, putoaa kuin sukkula Columbia hajotessaan ilmakehän yläosiin. Mahtoi muuten astronautteja hiukan vituttaa ne kaksi viimeistä sekuntia.

8. Desktop Computers Dying
Desktop computer sales were down 9 percent this year, but is that really a surprise? No one wants a bulky computer anymore; they want something mobile that they can take with them anywhere. They versatility of a tablet is what is desired now. But even all the new Windows 8 tablets couldn't help PCs.
Siinäpä se, tabetit tappoivat todella pc:n. Ihmiset eivät enää halua ostaa pc:tä vaan mukana kulkevan mobiilin laitteen, eli tabletin tai älyluurin.
Eikös jo viime syksynä mobiilien osuus uusissa laitteissa noussut 68%:iin? Nyt se on jo reilusti yli 70%:n. Mutta jos kaikki nettipäätteet lasketaan mukaan on mobiililaitteet todennäköisesti vielä muutaman kuukauden ajan vähemmistössä. Maailmassa on sentään vielä yli miljardi pc-laitetta joista lähes 90%:ssa Windows.
tavallisille tuulipukulaisille 'pakkomyydään' älypuhelinta, jotka eivät koskaan edes käy netissä mobiilisti
Se tekee juntti-einari suomalaiselle ihan hyvää oppia käymään mobiilisti netissä ja hoitamaan asiat sujuvasti muualla kuin kotona pc:n ääressä. Se on sitä uutta aikaa johon windows-urvelot eivät suostu astumaan.
Muu maailma elää jo mobiilin netin käytön aikaa.
