The long-awaited Windows8 Tablet
Microsoft as the hegemony of the desktop operating system, accounted for only 2% share in the tablet computer market. It did make people feel puzzled. If you ask to Microsoft, I think we might get an answer like this: Do not worry, our Windows8 are developing and will be launch by the end of next year. This is a unified PC and tablet PC operating system, which will be the greatest operating system, as long as Windows8 released, we will beat ios and android in the tablet computer market.
According to the tablet computer market share of the global report that was released by Strategy Analytics in the third quarter of 2011, the shipments of the tablet computer was 17 million units in the third quarter 2011, Apple sent out 11.1 million units iPad, Google Android system accounted for 27% market share, which was high than a year earlier, the traditional computer giant Microsoft’s tablet computer operating system only accounted for 2% share.
1. The customers has a clear demand for Windows8 tablet computer
Let us look at the Boston Consulting Group recently did a survey on the tablet PC(survey showed that 42% of Americans want the Windows Tablet computer), the survey showed: Although ipad that was based on the iOS was very popular, still 42% of the interviewees are willing to buy the flat products that can be run on Windows applications. While Android tablet was only 20%, the proponents of flat-panel system for blackberry was very few, only 9%.
2. The existing wintel Tablet PC is immature
The wintel Tablet computer has come into being in the market, but many respects of it are too immature. The most important point is: Intel and AMD made theX86 processor, for its power consumption is too high, which is not suitable for the tablet computer. The high power consumption means the Standby time is too short. I have seen some of the Windows Tablet computer that their standby time is generally two hours. This product is not a mature product clearly. (Data showed Intel’s lowest power processor is three times higher than the Tegra2). Besides, some performance of them is not very good, for example, the ipad, it uses a closed system, so such as convert dvd to ipad for mac this simple operation can be not finished. For ipad only can support mov file and mp4 format, if you want to play other video formats, the best way is using a mac dvd to ipad converter. So the users look forward to the new Tablet computer Windows8 can solve this problem.
3. Windows7 is very useful, PC users do not rush to upgrade to Windows8.
PC users have on stronger demand for Windows8, the release time of Windows 7 is not long, its hot sellers showed that the Windows7 is very good and do not need a rush of Windows8 for PC operating systems. But the Tablet PC’s hot show if introduced early in the ARM Windows8 a dedicated operating system, will be the user’s attention and love. If the ARM version of Windows8 advancing the cost of delaying Windows8 PC version, which does not have too many losses.
4. The demand for market competition
With the current ipad and android tablet computer continued selling, they give less time for Microsoft’s Tablet PC. If Windows8 Tablet PC will be postponed until 2013 and then shipping in volume. It may miss the best time of competition, because the ipad4 are released. Android estimated to upgrade to the 6.0 (the current situation showed that the release of the Windows8 looks a long way off.
