Windows 8 reached the very important RTM phase of development in August 2012, and everyone at Microsoft was very excited since a brand new operating system was about to hit the shelves with lots of new features expected to appeal to both desktops and tablets.
Windows 8 was more of an experiment and soon after that, it was truly clear that this new operating system was failing, with adoption in the very first months reminding of Windows Vista.
In fact, many called Windows 8 “the new Vista,” pretty much because of the low adoption numbers which indicated that not so many users as initially projected were actually ready to switch to an operating system that’s half aimed at PCs and half at tablets.
