Hey everyone....
I recently read an article saying that Android devices will overtake Windows devices by 2016...
Was shocked....
what do you all think on that... ??
I definitely feel it to be absurd...besides Google's earlier attempt at chrome OS did not pick up quite well...
and when it comes to the Windows desktops..I very stonily feel that Windows rules....(well if we can forget a few failed attempts)
No, well, not really.
Android won't take over the desktop PC, and the desktop isn't going anywhere. They might have a majority if you count mobile devices, but that is still up in the air as well.
I'd say thats a bit of a long shot. Although a lot can change within 5 years. Just look at the mobile space. 5 years ago, we'd be dreaming of what we have today
If you're saying that Android devices will take over PC usage, I would laugh and say "HAHAHAHA NO." Windows is way too strong to be overtaken by Android tablets. This is bad info
If Chrome OS could get a foothold or if Android manages to cross into Ultrabook territory, maybe. But the desktop is firmly Windows. And with the introduction of Windows 8, I'm sure Microsoft will find a good home in the tablet area.
Chrome OS is so far from taking over Windows that it's probably even more reasonable to say that I will win the lottery before Chrome OS/Android takes over Windows. No one, at least right now, will want to use Android in a Webtop/laptop settingQuote:

Windows is way to big to be overtaken that easily, especially by 2016. Chrome OS is a good project, but that's about it. Windows has been proven to be a great operating system and will continue to improve. BSOD don't really apply anymore and i havent had one since my upgrade to Windows 7 in 2010.
I don't know, I could never use a browser as an OS. I just don't think Chrome OS is ready for prime time, and I don't see it having any manageable benefits over Windows or Mac right nowQuote:

To be more specific, I'd say "Windows is certainly in a decline thanks to the iPad and other tablets..." If Microsoft nails Windows 8 tablet promotion, that fear may vanishQuote:
