Gold also predicted that Microsoft will occupy closer to 10 percent of the consumer tablet market by the same 2014 timeframe, thanks to Windows 8 and its tablet-friendly aspects, as well as the “regular” desktop interface option. Current rumors suggest we won’t be seeing a tablet running this OS until sometime in late 2012. Though the analyst also noted that Microsoft will lose out to iOS and Android, which he believes will control 30 and 50 percent, respectively, of the consumer tabletsphere.
In addition, Gold expects Microsoft will occupy about 15 percent of the enterprise table space, as it continues maintain its popularity among business customers. RIM’s QNX, however, will have around 10 percent, while iOS will be the winner with 40 percent, followed by Android with 30 percent, says Gold.
