The Windows 8 treated the familiar desktop as merely an afterthought and revamped the interface with a slew of confusing and hidden features.
As a result, PC sales, which were already on the decline at that point in time, further slipped with the advent of the Windows 8. The new Windows OS was not user-friendly to say the least so without the company doing much, a number of PC users actually shifted to using Macs.
Over at the mobile OS market, Microsoft is not doing any better either as Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS are dominating the market, with Windows a distant third or may even be fourth, next to CyanogenMod OS.
Windows 10 is now Microsoft’s last and best hope of winning over more smartphone users as the company plans to make it a unifying software both for personal computers and mobile devices.
