Microsoft is said to be preparing for a battle against Apple’s company and the iPad by convincing other companies and developers to utilize the company’s Windows 8 that is specifically designed for slates.

According to the recent reports, Microsoft is offering support to business partners, and encouraging them to use business strategies that can possibly bring success to the soon-to-be-released slates against the popular Apple’s tablet.

In a power point presentation released by Microsoft and available on Google, Microsoft is encouraging partners to use Windows 7 on tablets that are set to take a stand against the iDevice.

The presentation also includes marketing strategies that are said to be intended to convert Apples product users to buy Microsoft’s tablet.

The marketing strategy is also aiming consumers that are foreseen to buy an iPad this year.

As of the moment, Microsoft and partners appeared like puppies in a competition against the gigantic sales of Apple’s slate, and the unstoppable popularity of the iDevice.

Apple’s company has sold 7.3 million iPads since the release of its device.

Reports also suggest that if the iDevice is considered a computer, iCompany will become the world’s number 2 PC vendor, due to the huge volume of sales of the iPad.
