Microsoft - stop waiting for Win8 to build a tablet, use Windows Phone's OS.
- bdfh42 15y agoPossibly controversial view point here. A year ago it looked like Microsoft had missed the boat with phones and tablets but now I am not so sure. I accept that a lot of companies have invested in iOS apps (in particular) but my reading is that Microsoft's corporate customers are quite happy to wait for Windows 8 (and probably the next iteration of Windows Phone OS) before jumping in. They are not in a rush and they feel more comfortable with the idea of an OS platform that runs across a range of devices. The device manufacturers will build for the corporate market and take the consumer volume that will accompany that as the icing on the cake. The game is a long way from over.
