According to research firm, Strategy Analytics, Microsoft
and its partners have made a significant impact in the tablet PC market. Based
on operating system (OS) market share, Windows 8 tablet PCs including Windows
RT secured a 7.5% share of the global tablet market in the first quarter of
2013.
In Q1 2013, 3.4 million units were shipped worldwide by
the PC makers which accounted for 7.5 percent market share. In the same time
last year, Windows based tablet PCs could not make a good start in this rapidly
increasing market.
It is thought that shipment of the Windows 8 tablet
devices could have increased but due to its limited distribution, shortage of
top tier apps, and confusion in the market it did not happen.
It is nice to see that Microsoft’s Windows 8 tablet PC
made a strong hold in the market share. Very soon they may compete with top
companies like Apple and Samsung.
