Over the Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Thanksgiving Day holiday many retailers offered several sales options from Apple and other Windows based computers. Despite the offers sales fell for both Macs and Windows. Sales fell a combined 7% between November 18th to December 22nd. Even though Microsoft marketed aggressively, their windows 8 products moved in the retail space very slow. Macbooks saw a decline of 6% in the market place. Sales of desktops and laptops may be on the rise due to better smartphones and people becoming more familiar with tablets which are easier to carry than laptops. As Analysts predicted people are entering a post pc era, maybe faster than they thought. Yungjohnnybravo x TatWZA

Tech Talk News: Microsoft Moving Forward With All Touch Everything in The Future
Windows 8 Chief thinks moving forward all PCs will be touchscreen. I’m wondering if this is a decision made by Microsoft or a decision made by the people. Are people ready for touchscreen PC’s.

In a interview with Technology review the Windows 8 Chief did say “For cost considerations there might always be some computers without touch, but I believe that the vast majority will,” she said. These devices and computers Microsoft has put together with other companies haven’t sold well, so i don’t think they should move forward with all touch everything until the products are well received by the public
