Microsoft boasts 15 percent marketshare in New Zealand, looking to further market products and services

Microsoft’s New Zealand general manager Paul Muckleston has boasted at this week’s Tech Ed 2013 conference in Auckland that the company has leaped in smartphone marketshare in the region, from just 2 percent two years ago to 15 percent reported in July of this year.
