Smartphones to Challenge Windows Domination
Posted by Ahmad Barirani in 
When it come to desktops, Microsoft has a dominant position in the operating system market. Two reasons are behind this situation:
- The lack of hardware support from manufacturer for other operating systems
- The lack of software applications for other operating systems
So even if open source geeks can make Linux for cheaper, nobody would go for it because of these two reasons.
But today, the PC is no longer the only platform for computation. Smartphones are having tremendous adoption on the market with the iPohne and the BlackBerry as the two main products. Since these devices come as a whole system with integrated operating system, the problem with hardware support is no longer an issue. Also, application developers take advantage of this new market opportunity and offer a wide range of products that cover pretty much every need that was fulfilled on the PC.
If PC sales drop compared to Smartphones, then it means a big loss for Microsoft. Will it be able to force its main product to this new market reality?
