Except the numbers Microsoft have been throwing about say Windows 8 is outselling Windows 7. The key is if it continues to sell well, chances are it will thanks to OEM deals.
Anecdotally a large percentage of people I know have upgraded, I'm well of aware of this due to discussions about (both negatie and positive) but using it. Mostly negative TBH LOL.
- mtgx 14y agoMicrosoft has only given the numbers of what they sold to OEM's - not to consumers. It's like with chip deals. You can order $1 billion worth of chips. But if you can't sell them all to customers that's your problem. The manufacturers ordered a lot of licenses. But so far, I haven't seen market research companies say they did that well in the market with them. Guess we'll see in the next quarter results, if they even give those numbers, and also whenever Microsoft mentions when they sold new licenses, because I guess that would mean the manufacturers ran out of the first 40 million.
