However, when it comes to their user preference, it is not easy to make a choice between the two gadgets, but in reasonable thinking, Windows tablets with their new applications are gaining enough potential and capability to attract more and new consumers. It also dominates the market because of its new and excellent User Interface (UI), whereas Android tablet users are looking forward to use ICS.

The Difference in Their Operating System Support

Windows 8 applications are proclaimed to support both x86 processors and ARM microprocessor. Therefore, the Windows 8 has a great collective operating system that is compatible with Windows tablets and in most personal computers.

When the Android 4.0 version commonly known as ICS was introduced, both consumers and critics praised its compatibility with other gadgets such as tablets and Smart phone gadgets. However, from an unfair perspective, the iOS was in the market for many years before. Despite all, ICS can possibly be a good step for Google.

If the future is put consideration, both android tablets and windows tablets will be facing the same predicament that will be difficult for both of the manufacturers to understand. Maybe this is the reason why Android has created its significant mark in the section of Smart phone and its applications and what is seems to be unfortunate, the android tablets are still hesitating with Honeycomb that the ICS are looking forward to solve. Neither Windows tablets are exceptional; Windows 8 will find it difficult to be considered as the tablet systems because of the operating system is PC related pedigree.

Conclusion
