“Yeah, the same OS which will be in over a billion PCs and other devices within 3 years. What a problem!!!”
Yep, the majority of which will are dirt cheap and sell for well under $1000.... Sorry, but the market for high end hardware for the PC market is basically gamers... Windows machines sell because of cost points, a high end PC running windows has a market demand of next to nothing.. Its the VALUE play, that’s all its got. Will a small percentage of windows buyers pay for high end hardware? Sure.. but the majority aren’t going to give something like this consideration
Windows is the Walmart of the PC world, tons of low end low margin products making up the overwhelming majority of sales, because the 90%+ of the market is not going to pay a premium for it.. One can spend $1500 for a pc running windows with high end components... or one can spend $500 for a pc running windows with cheap components... both will equally perform the tasks th do most, surf the web, watch youtube and porn and send email and word process on.
“It’s also the same OS which OSX users need to install in order to get anything productive or value done.”
If you believe that, you really are about 20 years out of touch.
Lets check the sales figures in 12 months and see where this thing lands, particularly if we are privy to the give away factor MS will probably do to prop up its numbers just like it has done with the Surface Pros.
