Does Windows 8 Really a Threat for Android?


Android is a major participant for Smartphone and Tablets and has a market of 52% Smartphone market share. The OS has developed with time and its latest stable release is V 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). But Microsoft has launched the Windows 8 tablets and its giving the tough competition to the Android.

Android Developers are doing hard work to prove themselves as the best in the market and are introducing new and upgraded versions of Android. They have full knowledge and know the market well, by now we can wait for that they understand the client’s needs better than everyone in the industry. But with Windows 8, the whole situation may be change. Microsoft has backed with its windows 8 Tablets and below points are needs to be concerned;

1) Windows is the most leading OS in the world (has 90% market share) and many people all over the world have been using Windows, so they know the system better.

2) Windows PC consumers may just support a windows tablet because it would permit a lot more choices for synchronization with the Windows PC, so you can easily run each of your software’s configured on your Windows Tablet.

3) Cost may be another key point. Windows certainly keep its price equal to android tablets.


But Now If we talk about Android, then we must say that Android is a well recognized brand and many people do not worry about ICS (Android latest release) vs Gingerbread. They just love Android. Android has a powerful share feature. Though there are some limits of the processors, but this will also recover soon. Security can be also a big issue. Windows users are afraid of virus and this point also goes into the favoir of Android.Google also has introduced a lot of value added features from some of last years which have been established in the market sucessfully.

The base line is Microsoft has properly done its homework and waiting for the result which may actually not like then it's expecting. But it may be really dangerous for Android and Apple. Let the war start....
