Signs of Improvement in the Q2 PC Sales Numbers?
Statistics can always be manipulated to highlight whatever an individual party is selling, but when it comes to the PC sales market, which overall has been hard hit by the economic downturn, the second quarter of 2009 ended up as not quite as bad as predicted, which has got to seen as a good thing. Don't get me wrong, the industry is still very much in a slump. It's just that according to estimates by IDC Worldwide, instead of being down a forecasted 6.3% worldwide at the end of Q2, it was only down 3.1%. Huzzah!
Beyond this factoid, a few other things can be gleamed from the numbers. Looking just at the domestic market we can see that as compared to last year, the players are the same, only that Apple was overtaken by Acer and Toshiba, dropping from number three to number five overall, losing about one percentage point in marketshare. The caveat here is that these numbers are debated by industry watchers. Another point is that Dell's woes continue, as they dropped nearly six percent marketshare, now barely holding off HP for the top spot. So, where did all those percentage points go? Into XP stuffed Netbooks, and thus into the coffers of Acer and Toshiba. If this trend continues you have to wonder what the numbers for the rest of the fiscal year will look like, especially with Windows 7 on the horizon. We shall see.

I think the sale graph of computers goes down because of windows vista and now it will become good and go upward rapidly because of windows 7 which is the best ever platform from Microsoft. But I don't understand that why the sale of Apple goes down. If someone knows it's reason please discuss it or give me some site where I can see it's reason.
