I still can’t get used to using the words “Windows” and “underdog” in the same sentence. But when it comes to tablets, Windows 8 is still an also-ran: according to IDC, it was on just 1.6% of tablets shipped in the first quarter of 2013. Is the problem that the first wave of Windows 8 tablets, at 10 inches and above, are just too large? Looks like we’ll soon get the chance...
