2. As Tim Cook settles in as CEO of Apple, the company will start to target the enterprise. Tim Cook will tap into all of the money that is available in the enterprises.
3. Microsoft’s Windows 8 will allow Windows to be more competitive in the tablet market. Although Microsoft will never overcome the iPad, it will be a distant second in companies across the nation. The Amazon Kindle Fire will take the number two spot with consumers, pushing Microsoft into the number three spot.
4. Microsoft and Nokia’s relationship will be beneficial for both parties. Nokia will begin to have a stronger presence in the U.S. market but the Windows Phone will not take over.
