Microsoft Needs Help to let Windows 8 Go On

IDC predicts that global tablet shipments may see a significant surge this year, a report has revealed. As the consumer demand is on rise with the arrival of new products, some 117 million shipments are being hoped to be seen for 2012.

Tablets are highly being demanded and amid everyone else, the popular tech-giant Apple Inc. only seems to be at the top with its products. Consider its iPhone or iPad or the new MacBook Air, everything fails other companies' advanced devices, keeping them down to it.

Apple is continuing to progress since years, with no downfall and is being expected to touch the sky in the years to come as well. No doubt, Google also has shown progression over years with the introduction of Android or Google Plus.

But, it is being said that mostly, the search giant exists in the lower-revenue sphere of software. However, as far as Microsoft is considered, it cannot follow Apple's logic of success. The report says that Microsoft's gaming experience being different from its computing experience is letting it down.

And therefore, a healthy circulatory ecosystem is a must for it before it brings Windows 9. "Tablets running Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 and RT operating systems, including the company's own Surface tablets, will add some momentum", said Jennifer Song, IDC research analyst.
