Windows 8 may not be selling nearly as well as Microsoft projected, according to a report.
"Sales of
Windows 8 PCs are well below Microsoft's internal projections and have been described inside the company as disappointing," Paul Thurrott
wrote on his
Supersite For Windows today, citing a source inside Microsoft.
The culprit? "Lackluster PC maker designs and availability," according to Thurrott.
But he lists plenty of other reasons too, including Windows 8 itself as "confusing" because of its mix of touch and a standard
Windows 7 desktop.
And he cites the simultaneous release of Windows 8 Pro and Windows RT as problematic
