Microsoft is expected to launch the the next generation of Windows within the next few months. The new operating system, currently known as Windows 8, is the latest attempt by Microsoft to regain its prominence. For those that are unaware, Apple has surpassed Microsoft as the world’s most prominent & valuable technology company. Surprisingly, it isn’t the MacBook or Mac OS X Lion that has Microsoft executives worried. In contrast, it’s the dominance of the iPad that has Microsoft really scared. The tech giant cannot afford to let Apple monopolize the tablet market like Microsoft did with the desktop OS. That’s where Microsoft is hoping Windows 8 can make a difference. The next generation OS is not only designed for PCs, but also works on tablets. As such, it is widely speculated that Microsoft will also unveil a Windows 8 tablet in conjunction with the new OS launch. The Windows 8 tablet is expected to be manufactured by Samsung, but designed meticulously by Microsoft in an attempt to create a viable iPad alternative.
