My commentrary:
Exactly as I predicted! Gesh I should become a TECH PROPHET or something!
lol
What will happen is that the current model of huge bloated power-hungry OS's
like Vista (the best example
of a FAT PIG WITH LIPSTICK) will NOT survive. New technologies that can work
on small and cheap processors and with small solid state hard drives and
little ram will be needed. All these machines will use the CLOUD more and
more. When I was talking all about this a year ago, the microsoft dork
fanbois had absolutely NO IDEA what the heck I was talking about. But you
see they don't have a broad understanding of events going on. This is not
MAGIC or PSYCHIC abilities. Whatever I say is based on logic and insight on
events that have started many years ago.
Vista is a DINOSAUR you can start the burial ceremony starting from now,
because this type of stupidly designed OS will not be around for long.
Things are going to change... and MS knows this... that's why they are
trying to make a new CLOUD OS. A few months ago the stupid fanbois didn't
even know what I was talking about... lol

There is trouble ahead for Microsoft's Windows operating system. The Redmond
company's flagship product is in for a tough run because of the U.S. credit
crunch and the global financial problems it generated. In this context, both
IDC and Gartner, two market analysis companies, warned that the PC industry
have been affected by the impact of the worldwide economic crisis. Still,
that is just a part of the picture. If the PC industry is hurt in terms of
lower volumes of PC shipments, Microsoft will also be affected with sales of
the Windows operating system intimately connected with the company's OEM
partners.
The "global PC market finally felt the impact from global economic downturn.
The U.S. professional market experienced the biggest hit from the economic
crunch. The U.S. home market saw definite softness in PC sales after a few
quarters of strong growth," revealed Mika Kitagawa, principal analyst for
Gartner's Client Computing Markets group. "The Asia/Pacific PC market was
impacted by a slowdown in China. PC growth in Latin America was slow
relative to historical levels, but it was still in line with the forecast."

(Thousands of Units)

According to statistics made available by Gartner, PC shipments worldwide
climbed to 80.6 million units in the third quarter of this year. The figure
represents an increase of 15% compared to the same quarter of 2007. Still,
Gartner explained that the growth is supported by strong unit sales in the
mini-notebook segment with a focus on EMEA, the region composed of Europe,
Middle East and Africa. Gartner put Hewlett-Packard in the lead worldwide
with 14,7 million shipments and a 18.4% share of the market, Dell in second
place with 10.9 million units sold and a market share of 13.6%, and Acer
third with 10 million shipments and 12.5%.
IDC also emphasized computer sales barely managed to meet expectations. IDC
claims that OEMs sold 80.1 million PCs worldwide, with HP having a market
share of 18.8% and accounting for 15 million sold units. Dell comes in
second with 14.2% of the market and sales of 11.3 million units and Acer
gets the bronze for a market share of 12.5% and 10 million shipments.

"The difficult economic environment accelerated toward the end of the third
quarter. The commercial segment has been constrained due to tight IT
budgets, while back-to-school spending helped somewhat in maintaining
momentum," said Doug Bell, research analyst, Personal Computing. "IDC
expects the ongoing economic woes in the U.S. to further impact consumer and
commercial PC spending during the holiday season."
No less than 80% of the revenue attributed to the Windows Client division
comes from original equipment manufacturers, namely sales of Windows
operating systems pre-loaded on personal computers. In this context, if the
PC industry slips, Microsoft will also slip. Of course, Microsoft is not
relying strictly on sales of Windows in order to survive. In the 2008 fiscal
year, sales of Windows generated a revenue of $14.45 billion out of the
company's total $68.0 billion.
