Did we all just witness Windows start to die?

It wouldn't ever fully die because of a lot of people like MS. I'm not sure if you can count people who just want their computer to 'do things' and don't care what OS it's running.

  Maybe their monopoly status stops them from making something people can't resist buying.

Just replace the tablet with a HP all in one.

I personally don't like a laptop as a desktop replacement would prefer a smaller desktop to a laptop. Like a HP all-in-one for example.

Maybe you should get the CPUs out for comparison. Some of them are very tiny.

btw. A Windows 8 install is 15GB. Up from the 10GB install for Windows 7.

That's a big chunk out of a 120GB SSD.

I don't think it's metro ui that makes people hate Windows 8. I dislike it because there are no new features, it's like a cut down version of Windows 7.

Microsoft might want to make applications, instead of trying to make you buy a new operating system every year.
