Windows 8: Will threaten Android and IOS

  

Industry observers look at the mobile market and think there is nothing to worry about on iOS and Android. Both platforms have found that more and more people want to use them, the companies behind them, Apple and Google on hand. They have enough funds to consolidate their position in the market for a long time. In short, Apple and Google are currently entering a higher mobile space.

But with the upcoming release of Windows 8, the impact of Microsoft may threaten iOS and Android. The operating system that Microsoft plans to launch next year will not hurt Android or IOS in the smart phone field, but the software giant still hopes that its Windows Phone 7 will achieve something. However, with Windows 8, Microsoft is firmly looking to the tablet market, and vendors are willing to follow Microsoft into the field.

Windows 8 tablets may pose a threat to iOS and Android, and these threats may be larger than Apple and Google have admitted.

Here are ten reasons why Windows 8 threatens other tablet operating systems:

1. After all, it is Windows

Whether you like it or not, Windows is in the operating system market. A huge force, its operating system has been installed on billions of computers around the world, and millions of computers are still willing to use Windows PCs instead of other devices. When Windows 8 - said to work quite well on the tablet - after the release, many people are likely to want to run this operating system on their devices. Windows cannot be discounted.

2. Enterprises may make choices

Around the tablet market, enterprise users have no fixed choice. The BlackBerry PlayBook research is a sub-annual business option, and the Cisco Cius launched this summer has not gained much appeal because of its Android installation. But tablets running Windows 8 may be a different choice for business decision makers. Not only will it support the applications that the enterprise uses, but it can also limit productivity issues because employees are familiar with it. The enterprise is likely to better drive the growth of Windows 8 tablets.

3. It’s not too late

Some people say that Microsoft’s decision to enter the tablet field is now a mistake. They think that Windows 7 should be more friendly to the tablet, giving Microsoft more time to try to limit the success of Android. But this view is short-sighted. The tablet market will grow tremendously in the coming years. And Microsoft may be launching Windows 8 at the right time.

4. Vendors are lining up

The interesting difference between Windows 7 tablets and Windows 8 tablets is that, unlike the former, several vendors are lining up to support the latter. At the time of this writing, several companies, including Dell and Samsung, plan to bring Windows 8 tablets to market. Microsoft should have support from vendors using Android and iOS systems. Can this guarantee success? of course not. But as more and more vendors move to Windows 8 tablets, Android and iOS may face increasing pressure.

5. Consider the acquisition of Motorola Mobile

After that, it is important to look at some factors that may hurt Android. Perhaps the most significant problem is that Google recently decided to acquire Motorola Mobility. If the transaction is approved by the regulator, Google will own an Android hardware vendor. Other Android vendors, such as HTC and Samsung, will hesitate to do so. If this happens, they may turn to Microsoft and Windows 8.

6. Microsoft will invest in

Microsoft understands the importance of the tablet field. If the company can't consolidate its position in the market, it will find itself looking beyond the most profitable areas of the industry. Therefore, in order to limit this possibility, I hope that Microsoft will invest in every field of Windows 8 tablet. If it means buying the company, it will do it too. If this means investing in research and development, Microsoft will check it out. Tablets are now very important to Microsoft, and it will continue to move until it wants to arrive.

7. It looks very stable

Although the details of Windows8 are not much, this operating system will be displayed at this week's BUILD conference, which seems to be for consumers and business users. A good choice. This operating system has a full window tile, a modified design, and support for multi-touch gestures, making it more appealing for tablet users. Windows 8 will be a strong competitor to iOS and Android.

8. Microsoft is not betting on Windows Phone 7

People often mistakenly believe that just because Microsoft Windows Phone 7 has not succeeded in the smartphone market, the company will not have a chance to be on the tablet. Computer and Windows 8 have been successful. The reality is that Microsoft's difficulties in the smartphone market have no impact on its opportunities in the tablet market. More importantly, Windows 8 will be a more powerful platform than Windows Phone 7.

9. Microsoft may play hardware games

As mentioned earlier, Google acquired Motorola Mobility to enter the hardware market. If other vendors consider the relationship between Motorola and Google, this is likely to hurt the use of Android. However, if they don't have such concerns, Android is still the first choice among suppliers, and Microsoft may just try to acquire its own hardware vendor. After all, it has cash in doing so, and this move will help strengthen its own operating system share in the tablet market. Simply put, if Microsoft enters the tablet development market, it can make Windows 8 a bigger threat to Android and IOS.

10. The operating system market is gradually integrated

Last month, HP announced that it has left the tablet market and turned to its own TouchPad, webOS operating system. In this decision, HP left RIM's BlackBerry OS to compete against iOS and Android alone. When Windows 8 enters the market, there will be four competitors. This is not a lot of competition. It remains to be seen whether RIM will be able to maintain itself in the tablet market. As the tablet operating system market continues to consolidate, Android and iOS may only need to worry about Windows 8. At this point, this competition will prove who will be the long-term leader.
