Will Android become the next Microsoft operating system?

It's a rotation of power, and now it's Android's turn.

There was a time, about 20 years ago, when Microsoft's operating system had already occupied 90% of the computer market share, and other companies were still struggling to find opportunities, such as Apple .

But times have changed. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Apple began to slowly penetrate the market, until the first generation of iPhone was released in 2007, when Apple really started to grow bigger and stronger.

A few years and hundreds of new products were sold, and the Microsoft operating system lost its market dominance. Now Microsoft is rethinking and trying to regain its footing, while another operating system is as ubiquitous as Microsoft was.

Of course, Apple has not risen to a dominant position, and Mac OS and iOS still lag behind Windows in market share.

It was Android that took over the baton from Microsoft. In 2014, more than 1 billion Android devices entered the market worldwide, which may bring the installed base of Android devices to more than 2 billion.

According to Gartner's latest forecast, nearly 60% of devices will be installed with Google 's open operating system this year, including computers, smartphones, tablets and other new devices, such as Google's own Chrome laptops.

Perhaps in the next period of time, it will be Android's turn to call the shots.
