System contention can Android overtake Windows?

Competition between platforms is no secret let's take a look at the question from the skeptics ' point of view. One not-so-sure message says: By 2016, there will be 2.3 billion devices in the world using Android systems, and 2.28 billion devices using Windows. When we hear the news, most of us will be skeptical. Because we know that one person speculates that the likelihood of a platform product's future use to such a precise number is almost Nil. However, in this perhaps the most important week for Microsoft in nearly a decade, we have a question worth asking: Will Android and Microsoft create a war in the next few years? In the smartphone market, the battle between iOS and Android ended in Android's victory. In the tablet market, the ipad has always been a distant king, a situation that may not change until a big shift in the market. But for desktops and laptops, they don't seem to be under any threat. The computer is no longer what it used to be. Attentive readers may have noticed that the platform that software vendors are using has already had a fundamental shift. In the past few decades, desktop computers have been our main use of equipment, other devices are secondary. We use Windows or OS X to run all programs, and these operating systems have the advantage of centralized file management and simpler application installation and navigation. Then iOS and Android entered our field of vision. All of a sudden, we're starting to pay more attention to our phones and finally start weighing the pros and cons of tablet and desktop computers. Of course, we all know that most desktop functions are temporarily irreplaceable, and that desktop computers may never be replaced in terms of size. What has changed is what we think. In recent years, when we wanted to surf the internet, watch movies, listen to music, and even create something, we first locked our first target on a tablet or a mobile phone. These platforms present a different operating system. At the same time, Microsoft faces a host of thorny legal issues in its attempt to provide bundled services in the operating system (just look at the dispute over a Web browser). iOS and Android systems can cover music, video, books, magazines, e-mail, calendars, chats, and services not covered by other systems. Suddenly, adding new features to the operating system is no longer just a matter of changing the taskbar, adding a toolbar, or managing a library. Now, add new features to reflect the pursuit of the future. such as speech recognition and text-to-speech technology, are based on large-scale basic investment after the birth of new technologies, so that we can have a deeper experience than ever before. In the operating system, they are no longer edge function, but the core of cutting-edge technology. So far, the shift has not caused any trouble to Microsoft. Apple is using its own hardware and OS x laptops are improving, but in the PC market, Windows still has an overwhelming advantage. What will Google do? Start producing an Android notebook? The broad rivalry between platforms is no secret anymore. Google's desire to start competing with Windows is no secret anymore. The Chrome OS is evidence. Google has even left some premium space for Samsung's newest Chromebook in play stores (this space was reserved for Nexus Q, so the standard is not too high). But Google often encounters problems in consolidating resources, so the two-way rivalry between mobile phones and desktop computers seems odd, but in the future they may merge. This is the problem that Microsoft faces, not because Android is selling a lot of handsets. If Android has been in the smartphone market and Microsoft has been in the desktop market, Windows will not be a loser. Because no matter what the point of view, 2 billion of the use of the amount can not be called a loser. So what is the real danger? That is universality. If you want to know why Microsoft is so hard to use don '/t-call-it-metro to all aspects, if you want to figure out why they're developing their own tablet, If you're not sure why they risk sacrificing 600 million of existing users (using WIN7 users), that's why. What Microsoft wants to avoid is Google, followed by Apple, and the need for Windows. Of course, this is impossible now, but four years later? There are several possible scenarios.
