The Decline of the PC: Computers No Longer a Growth Industry [View article]
William, nice contrarian thinking :) .. but I'm not sure there are truly that many Vista bulls around though - just a few very vocal ones. I don't see Vista driving growth. Sales, perhaps, but not any real out-of-the-ordinary growth. I see Mac sales a chief beneficiary of the Vista upgrade cycle, because with the change of environment from XP to Vista and with Macs running OSX, Vista, and XP, many buyers wanting to upgrade their PC will just go Mac instead, knowing they can run the best of all three OSs on the one machine. This will be even more true once OS X Leopard is out in a few months and Apple step up Mac advertising.
