SAP: Patent Turmoil Will Help Give Windows 8 Tablet The Number Two Spot In Enterprise

windows-8-metroSAP's Sanjay Poonen said in a meeting of bloggers and analysts today that Windows 8 will rise to the number two spot in the tablet market in part due to Samsung's patent lawsuit loss to Apple last month. It's not the sole reason that CIOs cite. But for many, it certainly is the nail in the coffin. The roots of the shift date back to January of 2011 when Microsoft introduced the concept of Windows 8. ?It also helped that Microsoft committed to developing a common kernel across all of its platform and backward compatibility to Windows 7. The kernel and the backward compatibility means that CIOs can use existing apps on the new Windows 8 tablets. Further, there is the belief that Samsung and Nokia will both offer Windows 8 tablets and Dell has already committed. Microsoft has an established developer ecosystem. CIOs also find appealing the whole new Metro UI and Microsoft's advancements in its touch screen technology.
