????上圖數據來自福雷斯特研究公司（Forrester Research）上季度對172個國家的9,766名所謂“移動辦公者”進行的一項調查。這項調查所服務的對象是該公司平時的目標客戶——也就是企業的首席信息官們。

????作為近年來的一種新興現象，所謂的“自帶設備上班”（bring your own device，BYOD）已經影響了企業首席信息官對辦公室計算環境的控制程度。在這份調查中，福雷斯特公司試圖了解的問題之一就是，所謂的“自帶設備上班”趨勢是否已經到了頂峰。簡而言之，答案是否定的。根據這份調查，全球約有2.58億員工選擇自帶筆記本工作，1.29億員工選擇自行購買智能手機。而平板電腦將成為“自帶設備上班”的另一個戰場。

????從上圖中可以發現以下幾點：

????? 目前全球37%的BYOD智能手機運行著谷歌的安卓（Android）平臺。

????? 相比之下，更多的移動辦公者——總數多達2.08億人——想要蘋果的iPhone手機。

????? 目前有12%的移動工作者使用iPad。

????? 但是更多的人（總數達2億）希望他們的下一臺平板電腦能運行微軟的Windows系統。

????福雷斯特研究公司總結道，盡管目前微軟的Surface和Surface Pro等平板產品銷量平平，但是“微軟平板電腦的前途看起來還是很光明的。”

????The graphic above comes from a survey of 9,766 so-called mobile information workers in 17 countries conducted last quarter by Forrester Research for its usual target audience: corporate chief information officers.

????One of the questions Forrester was trying to answer is whether the BYOD (bring your own device) trend -- a movement that has undermined the CIOs' traditional control of the office computing environment -- has peaked. The short answer? No. According to the survey, an estimated 258 million workers around the world choose their own laptops and 129 million buy their own smartphones. The next battleground: tablets.

????As for the findings in the chart, several points stand out:

????? Currently 37% of all BYOD smartphones run on Google's (GOOG) Android platform

????? More mobile information workers -- 208 million in all -- want Apple (AAPL) iPhones

????? Currently 12% of mobile enterprise workers use iPads

????? But more -- 200 million -- hope that their next tablet will run Miscrosoft (MSFT) Windows

????"Microsoft's tablet future looks bright," Forrester concludes. This despite the fact that sales of Microsoft's current offerings -- the Surface and Surface Pro -- have so far failed to move the needle.
