Windows 8 cannot get a break.
The latest partner to throw Windows 8 under the bus is Nvidia:
Jen-Hsun Huang, speaking during a meeting with analysts at Nvidia’s conference for developers, noted that devices using the software — such as Microsoft’s Surface RT and Asus Vivo Tab RT — aren’t selling very well.
“Windows RT is disappointing to us because we expected to have sold more than we did,” Huang said. “Everybody expected to have sold more than we did.”
He said the next question is: How important is Windows RT to Microsoft and how much will it continue investing in the software? Huang argued that it’s very important to the company as many devices use ARM-based chips like those underlying Windows RT tablets.
Charming. He joins Samsung, Acer, and Fujitsu in pretty much trashing Windows 8. With friends like this, Microsoft doesn’t need enemies. The question is who will be the next to bash Windows 8. Any bets?
