Microsoft Has 14% of Market Share for All Devices

Microsoft has declared that it no longer has 90% of the market share. However, the 90% is still true for PC’s, but it does only have 14% in the total device market. This includes all devices with an OS – PC’s, laptops, phones, tablets… Kevin Turner of Microsoft has a good outlook on the situation. Basically, it comes down to “Challenge Accepted.”.

But the rise of computing on tablets and smartphones has turned the PC market into one slice of a much larger pie, and Microsoft chief operating officer Kevin Turner this morning told the company’s partners that they have to look at the world differently. Even though Microsoft still has 90 percent of the PC market, he said, the important figure is 14 percent, taking into account the entire world of devices.
