Microsoft seen as gaining in cooling tablet market

Global sales of tablet computers will see only slim growth in 2015, in a further cooling of a segment that was red-hot two years ago, a market tracker said Thursday. Tablets appeared to be on a tear two years earlier, but the market is being eroded by use of large-screen smartphones or "phablets" as well as slimmed-down laptop computers. IDC said it expects "low but positive growth" for the market, with increased focus in the business sector and some gains for Microsoft Windows in the tablet market.
