Just because people aren't shopping in the Windows/Microsoft store doesn't mean nobody is buying Windows 8. 40 million sales in a month is nothing to sneeze at.

Just because people aren't shopping in the Windows/Microsoft store doesn't mean nobody is buying Windows 8. 40 million sales in a month is nothing to sneeze at. I haven't tried the tablet version yet, but I have it dual booting on my iMac and it runs just fine. Also, FWIW, I just got a Windows 8 phone (HTC 8x) and have been porting a few of my iPhone apps just as a test of the market. I switched from my iPhone 5 for a week just to test it out and I really liked it. There are still a few apps missing, but for the most part everything I wanted was there. Overall I think I like Windows 8 better than Android though it's close. I'm sticking with my iPhone as I like it just a bit better than both, but they are all pretty close, (and so freaking awesome compared to just a few years ago). To someone who doesn't already have a lock in to one of the platforms I think Windows 8 could be a good competitor.
