@That tablet shipment chart:

Were any Windows tablets even available in Q3 2012?! :o

* Microsoft captured a niche 2 percent global tablet share in Q3 2012. The imminent release of the new Windows 8 operating system will likely drive Microsoft tablet volumes higher during the Q4 2012 holiday season.

No, and if they sold 1 million surface tablets in Q4 that's about 4% of the tablet market for Q4 (assuming Q4 shipments = Q3 shipments). Take from that what you will.

Okay, interesting.

So lets assume that 1.5m non-Surface windows tablets were sold this quarter (complete guess)...and 30m tablets were shipped this quarter... That means 2.5m out of 30m tablets sold this quarter were Windows tablets...which means M$ will have 8%+ of the tablet market this quarter. That's impressive!

lol, non-surface MS tablets sold 0.4M in Q3 and you want to assume they sell 1.5m in Q4? Not happening. 

But there weren't any Windows 8/RT tablets even available in Q3 2012...Samsung, etc. released Windows 8/RT tablets in Q4 2012, so sales will definately increase
