Windows8 PC sales is much lower than Microsoft expected

The Technology blogger and Microsoft insider writers Paul Thurrott reported that Windows 8 PC sales is far below the target of Microsoft. Paul Thurrott says Microsoft internal deeply disappointing sales slump that is likely to be because consumers are not interested in, rather than because of their own Tablet PC Surface impact. While Microsoft is a few days after the release of Windows 8 announced up to 400 million users select the upgrade, but still refused to release Windows 8 PCs and flat sales Surface.

Analysis, said part of the reason may be due to Microsoft from pure software business into the field of hardware production and sales, resulting in a number of conflicts of interest. But Microsoft insists that still support such as HP , Lenovo , Asus third-party hardware vendors. Steve Sinofsky, the main person in charge of Microsoft's Windows division, announced his resignation last week. It is of some comfort that Windows 8 laptops get a lot of praise, especially the touch screen function models, and to create a number of small-scale mobile PC user base.
