📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses Microsoft's claim of selling 4 million copies of Windows 8 since launch, as reported by CNET. The original poster questions the accuracy of this figure, suggesting it likely refers to OEM licenses sold to manufacturers rather than actual consumer upgrades. Overall, the tone is skeptical about Microsoft's reported sales numbers.

This is the same double-speak they tried with Win 7. That "4 million copies" is almost certainly OEM licenses sold to companies like Dell and HP and NOT individual licenses sold to people rushing out to "upgrade". Like they say... never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
