Apparently MS released Windows 8 which was not very user friendly and has PC manufacturers says MS is mostly to blame for PCs drop in sales. It is the worst drop in market history.It looks like people at MS seem to be headed in the wrong direction with their ideas for Windows and for the next xbox.

LOL at buying a desktop. What is this the 1980s? People don't need to buy one for facebook and twitter, they can do everything on a tablet.

So can a phone...

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"][QUOTE="Consolessuck187"][QUOTE="MonsieurX"] You don't get it,gtfo.

I do get it.....people cant wait to get home and properly use the internet on their desktop.

Why should I wait ot be home if I can do it on the go? Stop living in the 90's.

Because the go version is complete trash so might aswell wait untill u get home so you can use the internet how it was designed in the first place. FOR DESKTOP

Makes sense.

An OS that is not user-friendly isn't going to attract people and it shows.

You can't LoL VGChartz for writing a factual story. Windows 8 sucks because MS made it crappy and they are doing strange things being reported with their next xbox also. It seems MS has the wrong ideas lately about how to make things their consumers will like.

Tablets aren't cutting into desktops as much as they are laptops. A few years ago, if you just wanted to do some light browsing, word processing, simple stuff, you bought a laptop. Now, you buy a tablet.
