As PC Sales Continue To Implode, HP Starts Pushing Windows 7 Instead Of
Windows 8

HP WINDOWS 7 back by popular demand promotion
HP
This weekend HP brought in a blast from the past in an attempt to boost its
PC sales.
Windows 7.
In promotional material on its website and email blasts, HP says it'll start
shipping PCs with Windows 7 again due to "popular demand." And that's not a
good sign for Microsoft, which still bets that its touch-based Windows 8
operating system will reinvigorate the PC market.
Many agree that one of the contributing factors to the PC market's implosion
is Windows 8, which can be hard to operate on the traditional desktops and
laptops that many people still use. Despite manufacturer's best attempts, PC
sales continue to decline year over year. In fact, 2013 was the worst year
for PC sales, according to research firm Gartner.
Meanwhile, there are a slew of other options for people to choose from,
including Chromebooks, the cheap laptops that run Google's Chrome operating
system. Chromebooks are gaining momentum with customers, causing Microsoft
to launch some very negative ads. HP has started making a bigger push in
Chromebooks too.
Finally, Microsoft is reportedly working on a new version of Windows called
Windows 9 that will fix many of the gripes people have with Windows 8. We'll
likely get a tiny preview of Windows 9 at Microsoft's Build developers
conference in April.
