PC Market Shows Signs of Life

Stock quotes in this article: MSFT  

Loren Loverde, the director of IDC's worldwide quarterly PC tracker, said that slower growth in mature markets, the delayed release of Microsoft's(MSFT Quote) Vista operating system and rising inventory increase the risk of slower growth.

"Nevertheless, we expect these factors will shift volume from 2006 to 2007 rather than reduce overall consumption," said Loverde. And she noted that strong demand in emerging markets, combined with falling prices and aggressive competition between component vendors and PC vendors will continue to result in solid growth.
