[quotemsg=10995771,0,18084][quotemsg=10994436,0,242296]In the 1st 6 months since they were released I sold:
100pcs Vista,
300pcs Win7,
6pcs Win8.

Windows 8 is not relevant, and Office 2013 is a disaster too. Don't get me started on Server 2012 vs 2008. Now the XBox One that spy's on you and records your every move and expression and sends to MS. I'm sell my MS stock this company is tanking big time.[/quotemsg]

How are you selling Vista PC's? Sounds like BS to me unless you mean second hand, in that case your not a new pc's retailer and your point is irrelevant when 8 only comes on new pcs, that or your telling BS facts.[/quotemsg]

I've been selling MS O/S before windows 95 was released. I've been selling computers, notebooks and computer parts for over 20 years. So I think you need to read my post again as I was talking about when each version was released as a new O/S. No I wasn't counting notebooks and prefab desktop systems but actual Windows License I sold. When a MS product does poorly it greatly affects my bottom line. I want them to release good products if you think I want to just bash them then you are a MORON. The last product released by MS have not been selling and my customers that have bought them hate them that hurts me and my pocket book and my ability to feed my family. Since you probably still live with mommy you can wear the rosy glasses and drink the Koolaide, some of us can't. Enjoy your XBOX One I think I'll stick with my Gaming PC or get a PS4.

You should read it again. I just put the relevant part in bold letters. He is talking about how many PCs he sold in the first six months when each of those OSes was released.

lol yea I'm calling bullshit on this one. For the sake of humanity I really hope these people are just children trolling forums :/
[/quotemsg]

Same as above. Read the post again before making completely baseless arguments.

lol really man, why would u tag me when your bolded sentence has nothing to do with what I posted. IMO this guy is a troll because he's calling all of Microsofts recent software products disasters without giving legit reasons. Then goes on a rant about the Xbox One being used to spy on people (lol are people really this paranoid these days) Which, by the way, his numbers do looked heavily skewed. (or is he not counting tablets?)
[/quotemsg]

Tablets, lol you want to know how many tablets I've sold with Windows 8, well ZERO!! The MS Tables with windows 8 only is sold by Microsoft thru their MS store period. The other partners that are making them haven't released any to us yet. Sold lots with Android though.

Yep, the DOS days were a lot of fun. I used to sell 20MB hard drives for $500 back in those days, lol. I've always enjoyed working with computer hardware, just living the dream.

"Why support a marginal OS? ;) " and yet they will proberly make a mac OSx version that is even more marginal :) And don't worry if it runs on Windows 7 x64 it will run just fine on Windows 8 x64.
