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

Remember when I posted this on November 13?

=========
Head of Micro$haft's Windoze unit (Steven Sinofsky) kicked out on his
ass because Windoze 8 sucks
=========

Well, it looks like it's official.

Windoze 8 is sucking the life out of Micro$haft.

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.

An IDC analyst blamed the drop on the vendors, which he said had
mismanaged the rollout of Windows 8 systems.
========================

Microsoft's motto - "If it works, it's not complicated enough".

That motto is what drives Micro$haft to instill ever higher levels of
bloat and complexity with each new version of Windoze.

With bloat and complexity comes vulnerability.

Windoze NT (and it's offspring) - code made from the finest, most
expensive threads, intended to tantilize the masses like the emperor's
new clothes.

With Windoze-NT, vulnerability is built-in.
