Windows 7 was a business-friendly OS, focused on Desktop experience, with a release cycle that aligned fairly well with the long-overdue XP sunset, and required only minor retraining of the average workforce.
Windows 8 was a consumer-oriented OS, focused on touchscreen devices, released shortly after most businesses had just moved on from XP, and would have required massive retraining of the average workforce.
In that perspective, I think 200 millions is actually a surprisingly good number.
