Windows 8 uptake: More like Vista than Windows 7:
"After a month on the market, Windows 8's usage uptake resembles 2007's Vista --
ultimately a poor performer for Microsoft -- rather than the eventually successful
Windows 7, a Web measurement company said Saturday."
"The difference may have little to do with the two operating systems and all to do
with economics and choice: The global economy was significantly more robust in
early 2007 than it is now, and five years ago consumers had few alternatives to a
PC, since smartphones and tablets were then just a gleam in engineers' eyes."
