I didn't say Windows 8 OS for PCs would be a disaster. Far from it. But on all other devices than PCs, yes.

What good MS news have released lately? Nothing positive about tablets and phones I reckon.


40 million Win 8 licenses have been sold . that doesn't include phone but for sure does include the tablet .

Apple laptops have been on the rise for the past two years because of their compliment iOS devices success (  people like the same ecosystem and brand. iTunes etc) .

Now it still hasn't made their Laptops and PCs become huge because

 

  • iOS devices are cheaper - (everybody needs a phone and tablet costs half of their laptops and PCs price)
  • Mac isnt widely available around the world and no heavy customizations in specs and design.
If you look the other way around.
If the expected 400 million people who will use the Windoes 8 in the next year look for a phone.
  • they will go towards win tablet and win phones because of the  same ecosystem formula ( all their apps will work ,Skydrive etc)
  • Win phones will give them the same multiple options ( specs and design).

Those 400 million can lead to anywhere between 40 million - 100 million(maybe more ) windows phone or tablets sold within next year.

So to conclude Win 8 sales can clearly wipe out Apple in both OS and mobile market in a year or two
