I put it to the writer and anyone else it was not since Vista that the sales dropped but since the end of new PCs having XP. So many people still run XP machines and do not want to change also a hell of a lot of people most likely the majority of users hardly use their machines for more than mail word facebook and gambling so have no need to upgrade. There is nothing wrong with Windows 8 Sirius well nothing we have not seen with the birth of any of the previous OS's yes including the much loved XP in fact more so than with Win 7 due to the fact Vista hardware just worked with it

I had a nightmare with Vista, in fact that much of a nightmare that when i put windows 7 beta on my machine it ran better than Vista did so i binned my vista disk and ran full time on the beta. Having tried windows 8 my final opinion of it is that its a good os for a phone and tablet but rubbish for hardcore pc users. Its the sort of os you give to someone you know cannot understand pc's very well and will need constant support
