[CS-FSLUG] Windows 8's problem: It's the hardware

[Fred A. Miller]

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.

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.

And that's a big problem when Windows 8 devices are often positioned 
near Apple products.
