Windows keen on nabbing tablet market share from iOS, Android

A research report released by the IDC on Thursday said that while Android and iOS top the list of OSes for tablets, with 67.3 percent and 27.6 percent share respectively out of the 229.7 million units shipped in 2014; Windows accounted for just 5.1 percent market share. However, Windows is looking forward to reaching 14.1 percent of the market share in the future, reported PC World.

Jean Philippe Bouchard, research director for tablets at IDC, said that Windows 10 will reach tablets this year, which may signal the beginning of gradual growth for Windows in the coming years.

Though the tablet market faced a fast growth through 2012 and 2013, still Windows was far behind its competitors, iOS and Android.

In order to make a more appealing appearance, Microsoft has made major changes to the user interface of Windows 10. The company is also working on to bring program compatibility across Windows 10 in order to overcome the problem which was faced in Windows 8 version.

With the growing demand for user and productivity experience, Windows is the only OS that has been put across all devices to make file and content sharing easier.
