Research suggests that Windows 10 will not have a major impact on the Chromebooks

According to a new report from Digitimes Research, Microsoft’s recently announced unified Windows 10 experience would not have a massive impact on the Chromebooks which is eating its way through the notebook marketshare with each passing month.

Microsoft is using a unification system with Windows 10 which will bring together its mobile, tablets and PCs with the same apps running seamlessly across devices. This can be partially likened to what Apple is doing with iOS and Mac OSX.

However, the steadily increasing Chromebook sales will be hard to contain, according to the report. Chromebooks are affordable and offer seamless integration with Android devices, which pegs the odds in its favor.

While Microsoft will still dominate the notebook segment, it probably won’t see as much success as it is currently expecting. It is being said that Windows tablet sales will see growth in the current year, which is offering some hope for Microsoft.

But as it stands, it seems like Google and Apple will continue to dominate the mobile segment while Chromebooks slowly sneak up on the PC marketshare.
