I'd like to see those numbers aswell. With Windows 8 shipping on all new PC's people (like myself) are going to build our on computers & purchase a discount copy of Windows 7 or even switch to Ubuntu.
The low sales are a result of
1-Bad economy. (it can be cheeper to build your own computer rather then buying a pre-built Dell)
2-Dissatisfaction with Windows 8. (People were happy with Windows 7 & don't want to buy a computer with the wrong OS, ie 8)
3-Competition from the tablet market. (For people who only do web & facebook, a $200 Nexus tablet may fit the bill)
