Re: Windows 10 won't give PC sales a fillip

"I know lots of people who want / need / have needed a new PC but walking into a store and seeing row after row of that depressing Win 8 UI puts them right off."

You did advise them that they can buy Win7 machines from practically any online PC retailer - just go to the business side of the store? or refer them to a local independent system builder...

But yes, I agree the selection of machines now available in stores such as Carphone Warehouse/PC World seems to have been much reduced and of poorer overall quality (probably to encourage replacement in a few years time). But then given I've been purchasing "business-grade" stuff for years now, my assessment criteria might have become skewed.
