Release of Vista not having major impact on PC sales
By
Demand for new PCs has not been impacted significantly by Microsoft Vista’s delay and subsequent release, reports market research firm In-Stat. The worldwide PC market forecast is still on track for 300 million units sold in 2009, noted In-Stat.
“With the recent release of Vista, a short-term rise in PC demand is anticipated,” says Ian Lao, In-Stat analyst. “System sales that had been muted waiting for systems pre-loaded with Vista rather than XP are expected to work through sales channels in the next two quarters. However, these sales represent an offset from last year rather than actual new demand creation.”
