Microsoft | Sofware | Windows RT Dragging Down Application Windows 8 | Windows RT continues to be a controversial product, although it was officially introduced back in October 2012 together with the Surface RT tablet.
Although Microsoft will soon hold a major overhaul, analysts believe that the Windows RT also affect the sale of a major desktop operating system it's based on, so that both iOS and Android remains the top-selling products in this category.
"On the day that Microsoft launches Windows 8, which is considered by some to be the most important launch in the history of the company, they issued the first surface of the product, and it does not run the main operating system," Tom Mainelli, IDC research director for tablets, as quoted by PC Pro.
"Even today, Microsoft continues to struggle to tell a compelling story around Windows RT. It is also dragging down the adoption of Windows 8, because it really muddies the water for consumers. Puzzled Microsoft offers, consumers simply take the path of least resistance and choose iOS or Android. "
According to some unofficial reports, Microsoft partners have refused to install Windows RT on their future devices, so that the second-generation Surface tablet could be the only run.
It seems the software maker has completed development of a new device, with insiders suggest that this first public appearance at the BUILD developer conference this week.
"Microsoft is asking its partners to pay a very high price for using RT - despite the fact that Android is a free, Windows RT devices compete with products such as Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire sells for $ 199 or less," said Mainelli.
Windows 8.1 will bring several improvements on the RT platform, including support for smaller tablets, such as the 7 - and 8-inch device. Microsoft is believed to be working on its own mini tablet will be equipped with 8-inch screen.
