Ouch: HP brings Windows 7 "back by popular demand"

Run For Cover · Jan 20, 2014

With Windows 8 bearing a good share of the blame for the declining PC market, HP is falling back on Windows 7 for its latest marketing push. The world’s second largest computer maker recently began promoting PCs loaded with Windows 7 on its U.S. website, buoyed by an email marketing push.
“Back by popular demand,” HP’s U.S. website reads, offering customers the chance to get $150 off a new computer loaded with Windows 7. While other manufacturers—including Dell and Lenovo—also sell a limited number of Windows 7 PCs to consumers, only HP is advocating the aging OS with such gusto.
PC shipments have been declining for seven consecutive quarters, so HP’s Windows 7 hype could be an attempt to bolster lagging sales by reverting to Microsoft’s more successful (and less contentious) version of Windows.
