Microsoft says Windows 8 PC sales were cursed by the unholy trinity of a slow economy, incursions by Apple and Android tablets, and the "ambitious" user interface design.
But the software giant insisted it is working with retailers and manufacturers to supply hardware that people actually want in time for the peak sales season this spring.
Microsoft pushed touchscreen-fitted computers at the launch of Windows 8 to show off the operating system's new touch-driven user interface. But distributors said the availability of said tablet-cum-laptops was poor - and the number of shipped units did not improve before Christmas as PC makers forecasted a shrinking market.

Nice post. I discover some thing extra challenging on several blogs everyday. It is going to normally be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice somewhat some thing from their store. I'd prefer to use some with the content on my weblog no matter if you don't mind. Natually I'll give you a link on your internet weblog. Thanks for sharing.
