 Windows 8 tablets may have a very difficult time competing when they finally hit the market, according to the findings of a recent Forrester Research report. U.S. consumer desire for Windows tablets halved between the first and third quarters of this year, said J.P. Gownder, one of the report's authors. That's because Microsoft's going to be late to the party, Gownder stated. However, just last month, the Boston Consulting Group found that more than 40 percent of existing tablet owners in the U.S. wanted a Windows tablet.
