Windows goes from zero to 7.5% of the global tablet market

In a report on global tablet OS market share put out by Strategy Analytics, the statistics outline two major winners over the past several months. Android is one, jumping from 34% to 43% market share, and Windows is another, going from essentially nothing in the first quarter of 2012 to 7.5% in the first quarter this year.

According to the report, Windows tablets shipped 3 million units. Considering there was limited market distribution that is not a terrible showing. Since Microsoft announced that the Surface Pro will be added to 25 new markets in the next couple months, we expect market share to grow. That means it will be eating away at Android and iOS, but we will not know to what extent until the analysts have done their requisite chewing through the data.
