2014: Microsoft Won 15% of the Operating System Market Share

Choosing among 2014 requires more than looking at a feature list. This guide highlights practical differences, benefits, and important trade-offs.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Robert Breza has just released a forecast for Windows 8 for investors.

How 2014 Works

According to Breza, Microsoft's latest operating system will help the company maintain its leading position in the operating system segment for personal computers.

RBC analyst said: ' Microsoft's tablet strategy has the effect of promoting both fixed and mobile computers. Unlike Windows 7, which still has traditional features, Windows 8 can support multi-processor and multi-device, paving the way for Microsoft to increase its impact on new technology trends . '

With the existing advantages, Breza predicts That the "software giant" Could gain a 15% market share in the mobile operating system market in 2014.

That result is much more positive than the current fact that Microsoft is holding only 1%.

Although it has just released the preview installation of Windows 8, the number of downloads of this operating system has reached 500,000. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer predicts that Windows 8 shipments on PCs will reach 350 million units this year.

As planned, Windows 8 will be released later this year, and perhaps since then, Microsoft has just begun to have a say in the tablet market that is owned by Android and iOS.
