As a reference iPad is +50% of marketshare on a ~100 million devices per year market. Android based manufacturers shares the rest.

Microsoft marketshare in tablets will be above 5% easily next year.  easily. 

You seem to be on some kind of crusade here... who are you trying to convince?  You are coming across as pretty desperate... relax.  

I don't think I am desperate when I come with hard facts and predictions grounded in reason.

5% or slightly above in marketshare in 2013 will still be seen as a failure for Windows tablets. Only 1/10th of Apple.

But without being horrible your predictions arent grounded in reason. 

Why?

Microsoft have never made an attempt in te tablet market where your figures come from. They actually mean nothing concerning what is about to play out.

This is the first time Microsoft has made Windows into a full fledged Tablet OS. And the first time Microsfot have made there own hardware where there flagship OS is pushed.

On top of that Surface RT was sold out before it went on sale.
