Windows 8 sales "well below" Microsoft's expectations - Rumor

......... And a SAD FACE :( for a BSOD. Like seriously? Do I look like a fucking child that needs a sad smiley face when my computer BSOD's?....

So you've already had the time to get BSOD's on this thing? :o :P

Two days ago, I received one too, at boot. Had some silly error. It seems that the BSOD is as confusing as it was, from backend, cause it took no memory dump, for me to search the internet for.

Also, unlike older BSOD, where the background was dark blue, this BSOD's background is painfully sky-blue. I love sky-blue color, but not on my PC, it looks kiddish.

I think Microsoft is hitting Jackpot with those tools like Start8/Classic Shell/ViStart/Pokki. When Microsoft decided to remove the RPEnabled from registry and making Start Screen Compulsory, they should've banned these tools too. But they didn't do.

The hardware is flawless and swift but PC makers have nothing to do with the results of Windows 8 sales, it is completely in the realms of the OS and thus why sales are not rising. If the OS was user friendly (I like it others don't) then this would have been way more successful than Windows 7 but sadly running an OS in the tablet and app industry made this a huge failure due to we already having Google, Amazon, and Apple to fill in the gap of the apps and tablet environments :/ Well MS. You better get to work on Windows 9 and make it better than Win 8. Or else Microsoft will only be a one hit wonder.
