Microsoft Locked HTC Out of Windows 8

 

According to Bloomberg, Microsoft locked HTC for Windows 8 due to concerns about HTC’s low sales and lack of experience in making tablets. HTC wants to make a difference by building a Windows device with a customized home screen. However, Microsoft declined the request and HTC was consequently left off the list of companies granted with early version of Windows 8. As far as official statement is concerned, Microsoft emphasized that HTC has sold more than 40 million Windows phone over the last 10 years and they are committed to future versions of Microsoft Windows platform. With this statement, HTC may still release a windows device in the near future.
