I sell Windows desktop software, so I decided to check my visitor stats for the past month. It's been 7 months since Windows 8 was released and less than 5% of my Windows visitors are running Win8. I checked the same time frame after Windows 7 was released, and roughly 13% of my visitors were running Win7. If i had that big of a sales drop, I'd be looking inward, not outward.
Windows 8 may be a visionary change taking Microsoft into the future. The problem, though, is that it's a tablet vision being applied to a desktop system.
I'm a Windows consumer that doesn't like Windows 8. I don't think I'm short sighted. I'm just trying to get work done.

- jmh42 13y agoThis is horrible analysis: comparing Vista to windows 7 changes to windows 7 to 8 changes. Vista was arguably Microsoft's worst OS. Windows 7 arguably the best. Obviously the changes you mention would be better. In fact, with 5% I am amazed and think that is rather impressive.
