The Windows 8 coal in Microsoft's stocking.

I'm not saying that Windows 8 is a flop...aw heck, who am I kidding, of course it is.

Four slaps in the face:

1. A Chromebook is in the top 20 of Amazon's top 100 sales in electronics, far above any Windows computer.  That's got to hurt, a lot.
2. The highest Windows computer, is a laptop that gives you an option of Windows 7 or Windows 8, with the Windows 8 option carrying a $70 premium.  No rush to buy Windows 8 computers.
3. The second highest Windows computer is a Windows 7 laptop.  
4. Windows 8 Pro upgrade ranks just one slot higher than Windows 7 Home Premium system builder pack, in Amazon's top 100 software sales.  Windows 7 is about as popular as Windows 8?  Yikes!

Here's to a New Year and Service Pack 1 that includes a complete bypass straight to desktop mode with the Start button back.
