Touch screen computers will account for 80% of the market in 2014.

Christian Cocks, CEO of EOM of Microsoft, said in a speech about the Future of Touch Panels at Computex today that the number of devices equipped with touch screens running Windows 8 will be surged, accounting for 80% of total PC market sales in 2014.

Christian Cocks said that with market stimulation of the upcoming Windows 8.1 operating system and OEM partners, touch screen computers will become the device that users love and expect the same way that people users are thinking about smartphones today.

Microsoft is known to seek to reduce the cost of Windows 8 devices by reducing the cost of its new generation operating system to manufacturers. In addition, the US software company also cooperated with partners to reduce the cost of producing touch screen from 4-8 USD / per square inch to 1.5-2 USD in 2014.
