With PC sales plummeting, it’s not unusual for excuses and blame to start occurring. In fact PC OEMs are looking at Microsoft and Windows 8 operating system that has so far failed to generate sales.

Windows 8 does have potential, but it is different enough and buggy enough to throw people out of their comfort zone and look for something else. That something else is Apple products.

However, so long as Microsoft can improve and simplify the Windows 8 offering, along with low cost hardware it still has a chance. But also lets not forget the world now has tablets, which for most people can provide a good enough solution without the need for a PC or laptop.

The world has moved on, can Microsoft move with the times.
