Windows 9 will be an operating system you can love (will be aimed at desktops, not tablets)

Thank you for posting this link. I guess you were hoping I would not click your link? The Headline alone,

“After Two Years of Decline, Worldwide PC Shipments Experienced Flat Growth in Second Quarter of 2014, According to Gartner”

VALIDATES EVERYTHING I have been saying.

Flat Growth = No Growth

I guess you’re not very good at analyzing/interpreting the importance of the headline. But, the headline by itself doesn’t count.

Flat “growth” is an indication that, the decline is or might be over. The bigger decline is occurring in the tablets space, which just means that, the novelty might be over, and when people look to ge “real” computing devices, they’ll be choosing PCs, which, in case you hadn’t noticed, are now less expensive than the “good tablets” and the better smartphones; not to mention that, PCs are a lot more practical and a lot more powerful than any tablet or smartphone.

PCs aren’t going anywhere, and tablets are on the decline, and smartphones CANNOT replace PCs. So, logically, PCs are where the growth in computing devices will be occurring, especially after the demise of XP.
