Ballmer predicts that 500 million users will use the Win8 system next year

  
Computer store news Microsoft CEOO Steve · Ballmer said yesterday that there will be 500 million users using Win8 system next year. In this rhetoric, industry analysts think it is unlikely, even a little funny. Win7 is the most successful operating system in Microsoft's history, with a sales volume of 450 million in two years. In early 2012, Ballmer said that Microsoft would sell 350 million Win7 systems.

Win8 Metro interface


If Microsoft wants to sell 500 million copies within a year Win8 system, the core business users first need to be converted to buyers, so that they Win8 is accepted in a short time, which is almost impossible for most enterprise users who are still using WinXP.
Win8 is out of reach for enterprise users. It will run PCs in the "two in one" device, which is a combination of laptop and tablet. Microsoft has done similar tests in Win7 and finally decided to continue in Win8. Win8 has a new concept of Metro interface, but also has a familiar traditional Windows interface, but the traditional Windows program can not be used in Metro mode, on the contrary, Metro applications can not run in the traditional interface.
