Microsoft's Vista delay could pull Intel?s price-cut schedule forward
Taiwan?s notebook manufacturers expect Intel?s price reduction on dual-core Yonah processors to arrive in advance of the planned date of May 28, with the aim of stimulating the worldwide notebook PC market, despite Microsoft?s delayed launch of its next operating system (OS).
Some PC manufacturers in Taiwan, however, expressed that delayed availability of the consumer version of Vista will help clear the current inventory level, which began rising earlier this year as a result of consumers awaiting Vista-compatible models. The seasonal peak demand of the fourth quarter of the year may, in effect, arrive earlier, in the second and third quarters of this year, as customers change their minds and purchase new models earlier due to uncertainty over a 64-bit OS, indicated the makers.
