Are IT professionals prepared to wait for Windows 8 to enter the market?

After a 3-year wait, after dropping continuous but deliberately minimal information, on October 26, Microsoft will introduce its latest tablet-based operating system, Windows 8.

Both the industry and consumers have huge expectations for the launch of the new product, and Microsoft is also extremely optimistic, with Gartner Dataquest analysts forecasting around 150 million sales by the end of the year. The software giant could thus restructure the tablet market, which will certainly reduce Apple’s 60% share.

Three years after the introduction of Windows 3, this fall, Microsoft seems to be reforming the world of tablets, significantly expanding their use. Also, the range of users will certainly expand, making the long-awaited Windows 7 operating system perfectly suitable for professional work as well as professional time, according to experts: "We have been consciously preparing for the new Windows for years," says Dániel Szöllősi of Allwin Chief Information Officer. “Technology is heading in a clear direction: mobile devices, home and work computers need to be a unified environment for both work and play. Windows 8 fits in well with this picture and will be available on smartphones, PCs and tablets alike. ”

Some experts are already burying Android tablets, arguing that the biggest manufacturers of robotic tablets are Samsung, Asus, Acer and Lenovo already ready for a brand new Windows operating system, Windows 8, and this new platform can certainly take away new and even existing kuncsafts from Android. The picture is further enhanced by Microsoft's self-developed tablet Surface, for which pre-orders can now be placed at the price of the iPad.

Notebooks, which are hitherto ideal for surfing only, emailing and watching movies, are gaining ground not only because they are projected to reach by 2013, and in 2014 to surpass the rate of surfing on a mobile device on a traditional PC and laptop. but also because the windowed software giant two of the third version of Windows offers far beyond these uses. The decades-long continuity of Microsoft's leading position in the business segment of the software market presupposes that a significant market for both end users and the profession will choose the option to use Excel and Word "originally" and even for the office environment. similarly, a forecast or even a monthly closing can be made.

"Business use is the key," adds Szöllősi. “Smartphones are already used by smartphone dads to be able to capture children’s attention for hours, but from here it will be just a step to download a CRM system or an offer template application from the app store. The Windows 8 platform and the tablets built for it are particularly suitable for business use, as they are much closer to a laptop in terms of knowledge and performance than the tablets currently on the market. ”
