Android will pass before Windows 2016

According to the analysis institute Gartner, Google's operating system will be more widespread than Microsoft in 2016, thanks to the rise of smartphones and tablets.

Windows should be dethroned by Android in the coming years. According to research firm Gartner, Google's mobile OS should pass the Microsoft operating system in 2016. We would then have 2.3 billion computers, tablets and smartphones running Android, against 2.28 billion devices in Windows.

But by the end of this year, analysts expect 1.5 billion terminal on Windows and 608 million Android Android has grown exponentially with the rise of smartphones and tablets.

Launched in 2008, Google's ecosystem team now two-thirds of smartphones in the world, but still behind iOS tablets.

The craze for Android manufacturers can be explained by the free system. Google derives its revenue actually mainly related services to its platform, as Google Play (application store) and advertising revenues.

Meanwhile, Microsoft suffered declining global sales of computers and failed to take the bend of tablets and smartphones at the right time. During the third quarter, they fell by 8%, the largest drop since 2001, due to the enthusiasm of consumers for mobile devices.

Currently, Microsoft has only 3% of market share in the smartphone sector. But with the arrival of Windows Phone 8 at the end of the month, he hopes to catch up on the market.
