For all the reports of Windows 8 being a failure, there are still more
installations in use than OSX. So it's all relative. I suspect this
release will see some sort of ability to work with a more traditional
desktop. That would be good as by all reports it's faster and more
stable even than Windows 7.
"In use" or purchased and discarded?
MS had a "downgrade" program where you could buy a Vista license and get
XP. I did a lot of those before Win 7 came out. I'm sure MS reported them
all as Vista "adoptions".
My white-box vendor can still sell me an ordinary Win 7 license, and even
if it gets to the point of having to buy a "downgrade" from Windows 8 to
get 7, I'll probably do that, at least until the issue of whether MS is
going to make 8 usable for a typical business office multi-tasking
environment gets cleared up.
