Microsoft admit Windows 8 is not PC

Microsoft, at last admitting introducing Windows 8 onto the PC market was a mistake ??

Well thats not the way they're putting it, but it's true,

They are saying 'Consumers found it to complicated'

No, they didn't want touch screens in the first place, but in the race to be hip, microsoft blew it.

They followed the fad in Phones and Pads. Buteven there, have a look online and see the amount of People asking about & for smartphones with real Qwerty keyboards, sales of Motarola smartphones in the States are rising fast

I'm currently looking for a new PC as mine is nearing 10 years old and I'm undecided between a (Microsoft) PC and a Mac.

Either way I have asked for quotes specifically for Windows7 compatibility / availablity. as there's no way I want Windows8.
