Introduction

This IDC study provides a top-down sizing of the Windows client operating environment segment of the worldwide operating systems and subsystems market in 2011, with a 2012-2016 forecast for the Windows client operating environment market.

"Windows 8 has become quite the focus of discussion and industry interest, even among competitors," says Al Gillen, program VP, System Software at IDC. "Microsoft often throws around the term 'betting the business' on a new product, and while I have yet to hear Microsoft say it this time around, I can't remember a product that was more critical to the company's long-term success than Windows 8 will be."
