Samsung NixesWindows RT TabletFor U.S.

Samsung's decision hurts Microsoft's
efforts to gain ground against Google
and Apple in the mobile computing
market.
Just days after Steve Ballmer touted the
company as one of Microsoft's key
partners in the tablet market, Samsung
has killed plans to launch in the U.S. a
device based on Windows RT, a derivative
of Windows 8 designed mainly for
portable systems.

Samsung senior VP Mike Abary told Cnet
that the South Korean electronics maker
does not see sufficient demand from
retailers to justify launch of the previously
announced Ativ Tab. Abary said retailers'
interest in Windows RT is only "modest."
He added that customers may be
confused by the OS, which, unlike full-
blown Windows 8, can only run software
preinstalled by Microsoft or apps
downloaded from the Windows Store.
So in near future it dosen't looks like Microsoft will snatch market form the great Apple and Google ,atleast in US....STAY TUNED
