Reports claim that the latest Window based OS platform Windows RT has
failed to impress. Windows RT was Microsoft’s attempt to come up with an operating system
for tablets. The Windows legacy in the world of desktop devices is undeniable;
but with Windows RT, Microsoft tried to explore the world of tablets & ARM
based devices too. If the initial
reports are to be taken into consideration, Windows RT has failed in the highly
competitive mobile market.
Opposed to slim & power efficient hardware used by Microsoft’s
competitors Google and Apple, the former has consistently used its x86
hardware. One positive aspect of Windows RT that has been highlighted by
analysts is its embracement of the ARM system on chips and removal of the
previous hardware. The Microsoft Office app comprising Student 2013 &
Microsoft Home that comes with Windows RT has introduced touch optimized versions
of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote in order to address the
productivity & consumption needs of a user. However, it is the very same
attempt made by Microsoft to span both needs that has failed to please
individual customers who are inclined either towards productivity or towards
consumption. The fact that apps such as iTunes, Adobe Photoshop, & Google
Chrome are not running on Windows RT, has discouraged most users to avoid using
this operating system. The biggest challenge that Windows RT has had to face is
attracting the attention of the business class in the society, which has
completely refrained from deploying this operating system.
The verdict is out; Windows RT is definitely not a well integrated OS
platform for modern mobile devices.
