Hi Helmut:

When one of the world's biggest browser developers drops a new platform that is big news. When it is Windows 8.x that is bigger news. Considering that Windows 8.x is the most advertised application/platform (and expensive...Microsoft is paying more on advertising the product than it makes in sales) in history and their growth is limp to say the least...the graphs say it all.

...and...

...or more long range...

As long as sales of Windows 7, Office and servers can continue as strong, Windows 8.x advertising will be able to continue.
