=======================
Windows 8 fails to deliver expected boost as Christmas PC sales slump

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...pc-sales-slump

FOURTH QUARTER SALES in the PC market fell once again as computer
vendors wrapped up a disappointing 2012.

Research firm IDC said that over the final quarter of the year, revenues
were down some 6.4 percent compared to the same period in 2011. Overall,
researchers found that three of the top five PC vendors saw a drop in
shipments on the quarter.
=======================

Is this result any different for other market segments, eg cars, white
goods, consumer electronics?

What I'd like to see is a clear comparison between the Windows
versions detailing the features that are added by each new release. In
other words, what do we get in Windows 8 that we don't have in Windows
7, Vista, XP, etc?
