Title: Infographic: The History of Windows Launches, Campaign Spend and Revenue Return
Post by: javajolt on February 22, 2014, 11:10:31 PM
There's a strong contingent of industry watchers who consider Windows 8 a flop. But, when you have the data to compare actual campaign spend, number of copies sold, and amount of revenue per Windows version, it might just be enough to make them think a little longer before allowing their knee to jerk uncontrollably.

The following Infographic produced by WhoIsHostingThis (http://www.whoishostingthis.com/)? is actually intended to highlight the extravagance of Microsoft operating system launches, and while that is some interesting information, I was more interested in the number of copies sold and total revenue.

There's some additional cool data represented here. I'll let you glean your own value.
