Ottawa Citizen online – Windows 8 revolutionizes Microsoft OS, but consumers may balk

My eMBA Opinion

Marketing whizes should have used the principle of spirals. Start small and go big. The simple solution to get people on board to accept radical change is simple. Give away tons of smartphones/tablets with Windows 8 and get them using it and taking about it.

Then the bigger concept of computers/laptops sales ares sure to follow. Simple math, start small, go big. No big deal about re-inventing the wheel. Throwing it all out into the marketplace will only give out the public the impression the it’s too confusing and isn’t worth the learning curve least of all the time to buy it.

Think it through fast and adjust before sales lag and go nowhere fast. You’ve got about 3 months time before NRGY changes and gets stuck in neutral.
