HP is now pushing PCs with Windows 7 instead of Microsoft's latest OS. But not for the reasons you'd think.
This week, in an attempt to boost lackluster PC sales, Hewlett-Packard began promoting Windows 7 PCs to lure customers who may be leery of Windows 8's bad rap. The company claims that Windows 7 is being brought back to its lineup due to "popular demand," leading customers to believe that the OS was previously unavailable and is now being brought back. That's not the case.
