The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “The Problem With Windows 8”.

Pete Pachal says, “We now know what we’ve suspected for months: Windows 8 isn’t selling very well. We’ve seen the pattern since Microsoft’s big launch event in late October — the mixed reviews, the cautionary words from hardware manufacturers, the desperate fast-tracking of plans to expand the retail availability of the Surface — but now we’ve got numbers.

According to the researchers at NPD, sales of Windows PCs dropped 13% year-over-year for the period between October and the first week December, a statistic first reported by the New York Times. Considering that’s the exact time Windows 8 devices arrived on the market, it’s pretty damning evidence the new operating system isn’t catching on”.
