And where is software development heading? iOS and Android. I've run and set up many websites over the past 10 years and what has happened over the past five years (since the introduction of iPhone) is startling. In 2006, my typical site traffic broke down like this: Today, my largest site (around a million hits a month during peak months) breaks down like this: Five years. Five years and Windows has dropped 30% of site traffic. That's not a huge drop... That's a catastrophic drop if you're Microsoft. And Android is barely getting going (and iOS still has plenty of room to grow). By this time next year, I expect to see a full 30% of my traffic come from Android/iOS. |
Oh man, such a fanboy post.
First post an anecdote, from your own site which you do not bother to link. A link for those statistics would be also nice. You know, like we would have something concrete to analyse.
Also, have you even considered why ms is entering the tablet race? They want a slice of the market. If and when (imo) ms deals a crushing blow to android/ios on this market, do you think that there will be a) more software developed for android/ios or b) less software developed for androidIios? In case your answer is a, I would like to hear how do you figure that out?
I take that you don't have a magic crystal ball that tells you the future?
