Surprising rumor that has emerged throughout this afternoon. Xiaomi could bet on Windows 10 as the operating system for your second tablet, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2. The device, which is expected to be presented during the summer, would therefore not run Android with the MIUI customization layer, but would include the recently released Microsoft software, a move that would improve the productive facet of the tablet, increasingly important.
The source of this news, which has left us somewhat disconcerted, is a well-known Chinese analyst, who after making some inquiries and contrasting his information has come to the conclusion that the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 will run Windows 10. In addition, according to their forecasts, the Chinese company will launch the device sometime in this third quarter 2015, that is, before the end of September.
This logically means that it will not have Android Lollipop and its own customization layer, MIUI, which next August 16 will reach the seventh version. Just that date had been designated as one of the days on which Xiaomi could present its new and second tablet. If this news is confirmed, the odds drop drastically, but as always we will be attentive to tell you everything that happens.
Xiaomi and Microsoft
If we look back, the truth is that Xiaomi has previously had contacts with the Redmond giant. We talk about Xiaomi Mi4, which received a ROM from Microsoft that allowed users of this terminal to run Windows Phone. Until now, there has been no speculation about the possibility that they could change the operating system, but there are several factors that may have precipitated this decision, which still seems remote anyway.
Firstly, Windows licensing policyMicrosoft has greatly facilitated access to its operating system by manufacturers in the last year, which could have caught the attention of Xiaomi, as well as many other brands that have dared to try in this time. And secondly, if Windows 10 has something, it is that it will allow the execution of a multitude of professional tools and precisely now that "productive" tablets are on the rise, that could be a very interesting value for the new Xiaomi tablet.

I love the idea!! Hopefully and it comes out with windows 10, so it could go out of china without patent problems!
on apple and android smartphones they are the best, by far…. but on tablet, windows 10 is the future.
You are saying a contradiction, `because Windows 10 will also work on mobile phones and computers, it is a whole set, so I will wait until the end of November to acquire the high-end mobile and if the surface pro goes on sale 4
