Mocrosoft’s Tablet to Compete with iPad in Next Summer

Microsoft will have finished adding in all of the necessary features to Windows 8 to support tablet computing in summer 2012.

March 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Microsoft has been driven by a great force to march to the increasingly thriving tablet market. But it seems that Microsoft is lagging behind not just a little, almost to an unreasonable extent. But things won’t remain unchanged if Microsoft still wants to maintain its unique place. Window Phone 7 and some Window 7 tablets are some obvious examples, but in the race with Android and iOS, Microsoft’s Windows has been in the lower hand and the gapping discrepancy is enlarging all the time. If Microsoft cannot bring out some powerful weapon, things will become even harder for them.

Multiple sources with knowledge of Microsoft's plans had said that the company won't be finished adding in all of the necessary features to Windows, ostensibly Windows 8 at that point, to support tablet computing -- until late summer 2012. It is said that Microsoft plans to provide tablet features like support for multiple touch displays, greatly expanded battery life, and instant on capabilities in Windows 8 which is due around that time. Microsoft has said that in order to run a full-sized Windows operating system on a tablet, it has to wait for hardware makers to catch up.

Analysts put it, if the reports of Microsoft's Windows 8 timetable are true it may end up hopelessly behind in the tablet market. Additionally, Microsoft announced in early January that it will support so-called system-on-a-chip (SoC) architectures like ARM processors on Windows 8. The ARM family is currently the dominant processors for mobile devices. Apple, for instance, just unveiled its iPad 2 on Wednesday, where CEO Steve Jobs told the audience that the original iPad sold some 15 million units in the first nine months. That so many new tablets in the market already before Microsoft puts anything seriously in play. Microsoft owned the PC era, but chances are that they can hardly own tablet PCs.
