I find it hard to believe within 3 years, the world grew that much. And if it did people are struggling to make it by on life's essentials (food, shelter, etc). There is in fact less students going to college these days, because of our nations economical crisis. It's not population growth, im pretty sure the amount of places the OS can be used is a more viable explanation for its success.

What's not logical about there being more people with disposable income?
In countries like the UK and US, the death rate is lower than the birth rate and has been for some time. Since old people (closer to dying) aren't rushing out to buy a tablet and desktop that leaves the possibility of younger people doing the opposite. . It's wholly plausible that there are more young people today than who don't have laptopsm tablets, etc, than there were in 2009 due to the fact that the birth rate has been higher than the death rate for decades. Since 2009 these people (16-19, say) have started working and earning money and need something to spend it on. If that isn't mobile phones and tablet PC's then I have no idea what young people spend their money on (except hard drugs and liquor).
I'm not backing Knuckle, there, in saying that the ONLY reason Win8 sold so was was that, but I'm objecting to your dismissal of the idea that there are more young people with buying power today than there were in 2009. It's statistically improbable to say there aren't.
