Sources say Microsoft's goal is to launch Windows Blue this summer to ensure its development cycle is not too long. Microsoft recently unveiled the Windows Blue Milestone version 1 and is now ready to release the Milestone preview version as the basis for the Windows Blue Preview.

Ben Bajarin, a consumer technology analyst at Silicon Valley consultancy Creative Strategies, said in a feature article in the TAB times: "Microsoft has not been involved in the discussion of the 7-inch to 8-inch tablet computer." I estimate that the Tablet PC below 10 inches will be the mainstream in the 2013 tablet market, with a sales share of more than 60%. Currently, the minimum size of a Windows 8 tablet can only be 10.1 inches. They will lose part of their share and let their partners not be able to compete in the market's hottest small tablet computer. ”

But Bai Jialin believes that Windows blue may be able to solve this problem because it is expected to support smaller display sizes. In addition, Microsoft is expected to offer its partners Windows Blue system at a lower price than the Windows 8 system. The cost of the Windows Blue system for each tablet is estimated to be between 40 dollars and 50 dollars, which is 20 dollars lower than the cost of Windows 8 systems. Lower system costs will make a lot more profitable for Tablet PCs that sell between 199 and 349 dollars.

Microsoft's Bing team is now actively participating in the development of Windows blue, significantly improving search capabilities. They've come up with a lot of hypothetical scenarios, for example, when a user searches for a movie, there are some apps out there that allow them to play the movie quickly.
