學習 商務英語詞彙 以及用來描述趨勢和技術的搭配 商務英語新聞 最近個人電腦銷售下滑的教訓.
不久前，我們中的許多人還可以指望每三年左右就會擁有一台新計算機. 硬體和軟體升級突飛猛進, 消費者和企業尋求用閃亮的新盒子替換過時的機器. 然而, 正如《富比士》所解釋的那樣, 事情發生了巨大的變化: “個人電腦出貨量下降 14% 儘管推出了 Windows，但仍同比增長 8. 雖然微軟及其粉絲可能還不想承認這一點, 視窗 8 失敗了. 未能產生新的銷售是糟糕的; 個人電腦出貨量加速下降的趨勢是非常可怕的。”

PC market would shrink regardless of Windows 8 success or flop. Most users already own powerful enough computers that they have no need to upgrade. However I do agree that Windows 8 失敗了, but I see it differently. I think Microsoft demonstrated arrogance and stupidity by pushing controversial tablet OS on the PC. This step enraged its customer base. The customers who either tried new Windows or were forced to buy it with new computers will now avoid any mobile device with Modern UI like a plague because of their negative experience on PC. This is a big win for Android and iOS and big flop for future Windows mobile. Microsoft will survive on the desktop since they can easily bring Start Menu, users will stay with Windows 7 or buy menu replacements applications from third party.. But Microsoft dreams of being a player in mobile are now shattered and they must go back to drawing board. The sooner they realize this epic flop, 更好.
That`s a awesome lesson … I got a lot of new expressions. 非常感謝
