Microsoft Launches Tablet PC Directly Looks at Apple Competition

CNET Science and Technology Information Network June 18th International Report: If Microsoft decides to design its own tablet computer, it must be that they are doing better than other companies.

The focus will be on Microsoft’s Monday release of a tablet computer that aims to directly challenge the Apple iPad.

On Friday, local time, CNET found a common point in discussions with analysts: If Microsoft insists on manufacturing its own brand of tablet computers, it must be because of the iPad. iPad is the leading product in the field of tablet computers. So far, competitors only hope to pick up market share that iPad does not cover.

Apple's success should be attributed to the company's tight control of hardware-software and highly integrated products. Its success can hardly be replicated by the Android camp because Android tablets are made up of a series of loose hardware vendors, and the running Android software is highly fragmented.

Roger Kay, an analyst at market research company Endpoint Technologies, said: "This means that Microsoft can control all variables and create a robust product. For hardware partners, this is not a good thing, but Microsoft Perhaps this has been carefully considered, that there is no significant impact." Kay pointed out that Microsoft considers pushing the tablet PC may have been for some time.

In other words, Microsoft can avoid excessive conflicts with hardware partners. Hewlett-Packard and Dell will use the ARM version of Windows 8, Windows RT. The tablet's operating system will differentiate the product and avoid direct competition with the x86 ecosystem.

This means that Microsoft will look directly at Apple. Like Windows RT, Apple iOS supports ARM architecture, which is more important than battery performance.

What do Microsoft need to do to succeed in tablet PCs? Of course, the key is how Microsoft responds.
