Stick a fork in it, it's done.
But then again, this is hardly unexpected, Microsoft had announced when the introductory prices would end at launch. That's why earlier sales were so high (as low as they were), because after the introductory price, it is doubtful that many people will bother with it.

The sales weren't amazing, but they aren't as low as many people here seem to be assuming.
I don't think MS is expecting sales to go up from this... however they may have realized that most of the people buying windows 8 are building a new PC or something, and will buy the newest windows almost regardless of the cost... in that case this is win-win for microsoft.
