<p>Microsoft's Windows 8 sales appear to be slow out of the gate and
what's really going on will surface on a bevy of tech earnings
conference calls this month. Anecdotally, Windows 8 devices aren't
screaming home run and my working theory remains that the biggest
problem is hardware related.</p>
<p>After a few weeks of going to Best Buy, Staples and other
retailers pushing Windows 8 it's hard to find real enthusiasm
about the operating system. There's interest for sure. There are a
lot of hardware choices too. But Windows 8 and the barrage of
hardware feels very 1.0.</p>
<p>And that's a big problem when Windows 8 devices are often
positioned near Apple products.<br>
