Computer Sales See Biggest Drop Ever

This computer was probably sold almost exactly no times ;ast year.

In a news bit that should not be surprising at all, global shipments of computers plummeted 14% in Q1 compared to the year prior, analysts at IDC say, marking the largest drop since its tracking began way back in 1994. The figures have been cruising downward for four straight quarters now. 

Many analysts  and even computer sellers, are blaming Windows 8's not amazing sale numbers. . 

"The interesting question is how much of this is a structural shift toward slower replacement cycles and more tablets versus how much is people disliking Windows 8," writes Matthew Yglesias at Slate. "The reaction to Windows 8 is real."

Most people within the tech world, however, think Windows 8 is the right direction for Microsoft (like me) and people just needs time to adjust.
