PC makers are banking on Windows 7 to provide a much-needed boost to PC demand. However, they may have to wait till the second half of 2010 for the substantial spike in demand they are eyeing. According to Digitimes, sources at notebook makers share the view that Windows 7 will not lead to an immediate increase in PC replacements.
The logic is plain and simple: PC replacement demand depends more on enterprise and government orders rather than the consumer market. As European and North American enterprises are most likely to finalize their annual purchasing budgets in March and April of 2010, Digitimes’ sources expect actual orders to materialize in the second half of 2010.
