Hardware and new PC sales spike
Sales of consumer PCs around the world are spiking solidly during the initial release Microsoft's new operating system, Windows Vista, and PC sales were well up on the corresponding period of previous year. Individual hardware sales are also spiking as it appears people buy Windows Vista end up then needing buy hardware to get features of Vista working. Hot items seem to be new video cards, DDR RAM and tv tuner cards in both analogue and digital formats.
In the USA new machine sales with Vista preinstalled could be broken down as Vista Home Premium PCs 59% of desktops and 76% of notebooks, Home Basic 33% and 16% respectively. Vista Ultimate, the top of the range product 1% of sales. Australian figures when they are released are predicted to be simular to the US figures.
