Samsung may abandon Windows in favor of Chrome OS


The almighty Samsung will sink even further Microsoft after having essentially abandoned its tablets and smartphones branded Windows? Again, the giant reserved its favors to the decidedly dreaded Google.


If 2014 will still see Laptops Samsung under Windows arrive on the shelves, the next year could be very different, according to our fellow Taiwanese of Digitimes. For the newspaper, the Korean conglomerate will stop simply "conventional" laptops by less than a small year. By conventional, talking of course about machines under Windows, then shelved to focus only on Chromebooks.


It must say that the business is not doing particularly well at the front of notebook for Samsung, which had delivered 17 million machines in 2013, to finish at 12 million sold units. As a result, forecasts for 2014 figure a target of only 7 million units, while the need for a revision of strategy is strongly felt. The orientation while Chromebook could therefore make sense, even if we keep in mind that things can change, and that Microsoft might not hear it that way.
