Istället för att ge PC-försäljningen en boost, tycks Windows 8 ha lyckats göra det rakt motsatta, rapporterar Games Industry. Under perioden januari till februari såldes 76,3 miljoner PC-datorer, vilket är hela 13,9 procent lägre än motsvarande period 2012.
Bob O'Donnell på IDC som tagit fram siffrorna skriver: "At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market.
"While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive devices. Microsoft will have to make some very tough decisions moving forward if it wants to help reinvigorate the PC market", avslutar han.
