Canalys says the sea change has happened
>> Brazier did admit for a post Windows world there seems to be a lot of the OS about.
I’m fondly dreaming of a post-stupid-technopundit world.
Probably not in my lifetime.
They aren’t much better then the political ones that’s for sure.
Been terrible, did you see all of those customers waiting outside bestbuy during Sandy to get windows 8? NOT!
Was in bestbuy yesterday, not one person looking at a PC.
Windows 8 is a giant flop.
Everything is web based and done via browser. MS will have to slimdown and sell an IE book. What will hapen to HP&Dell when MS enters the PC market with own brand in own stores?
IMHO, chromebooks and netbooks have set the price of the pc. Anything over $1,000 will go to mac books.
One could make the argument that we are at the cusp of a post windows world, but to say we are there is, well, stupid.
Look at what people are actually buying. There is a heck of a lot of hardware being sold with a windows OS.
I think it’s a bit like saying we are in a post horse drawn carriage world as Henry Ford breaks ground for his first factory. It is incorrect, but still insightful.
You know who else lives in a post windows world...
Mark Levin, because he boradcasts from his Bunker, LOL
A bunker is a good place to be if it is off the seacoast and several hundred feet above sea level.
Legions of gamers would disagree with you, and Macs haven't made the slightest inroads with gamers. Nvidia expects to sell a record number of it's $1,000 flagship video card, that's right a cool grand for just the GPU, this holiday season. The PC will be around as long as it's the preeminent gaming platform. Consoles just don't have the horsepower to satisfy that community.
Windows has actually fallen to 50%. The other 50% mostly being taken up by Android and MacOS
