First of all, Microsoft will use the PC industry as a base to launch a real attack on the mobile sector and grab market share. In the past three or four years, Apple iOS and Google Android smartphones have rapidly expanded to new devices such as tablet computers by virtue of their huge user base, solid software and hardware supply chain and rich application ecosystem, which has brought more and more serious impact on the PC industry dominated by Microsoft.

Windows 8 will not only be used against Android and iOS systems, but will also completely ignite the competition between PC and smartphone platforms. In the mobile world, Microsoft is trying to compete with Apple and Google.

The second is the release progress of the Windows 8 tablet computer. Windows 8 tablet computers based on x86 processors are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2012, but those based on ARM processors are likely to wait until the quarter of 2013, with a delay of three to six months, so Microsoft's PC industry chain partners are likely to continue to work with competitors.

Third, we need to see if the user interface of Windows 8 can be used smoothly for both PC and tablet computers. According to the current development and technical situation of Windows 8, the x86-based PC platform will not change much, the keyboard and mouse will still be the main mode of operation, and the tablet computer will be dominated by the touch screen.

The existing PC applications are designed for keyboard and mouse operation, how to transition to the touch era and smoothly enter the tablet computer, which Microsoft has not shown, it can be seen that the transfer difficulty of the whole industry will not be very low.

The Windows Phone mobile platform will also have the opportunity to use Windows 8 in the future. Windows Phone 7's application development environment and framework are mainly XNA and Silverlight, and the development kit is Visual Studio, which is no different from Windows 8, so Microsoft will save a lot of effort in migrating from Windows 8 of the new user interface framework to smartphones.

Although the kernel of Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows CE, since Microsoft has integrated the touch control technology and application development support of Windows Phone 7 into Windows 8, it is natural that the underground step should be to unify the two platforms, that is to say, the future Windows Phone may be directly transformed from Windows 8 or its subsequent version.

The above is what the impact of Windows 8 on the mobile industry is shared by the editor. If you happen to have similar doubts, you might as well refer to the above analysis to understand. If you want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
