Microsoft's Windows 8 flop.

Via CNN, the quarterly results for each of the last three OS releases, should provide some shock value:

Windows Vista = +65%
Windows 7 = +76%
Windows 8 = +24%

Once I saw the tile interface, I knew Windows 8 wasn't for me.  The question is, do I move to Linux with WINE, or wait for Windows 9?  Sorry, but OSX is out of the question -- I don't have the desire to be controlled by a corporation looking to extract the highest profit margins in the industry.
