Re: [iPad] iPad doing to PC sales what Vista and the recession couldn’t?

 

Bite your tongue!!!  My business software is written in DOS  & works like a charm. Ill  use it till I retire (soon, please God?).You'd be amazed at how many industries are still running on DOS. That era wont start any time soon, those old pcs last for ever--LOL

THat said, I don't anticipate buying any more pcs. Just take me to the Apple store.

For the first time PC sales are set to decline and Citi analyst Walter Pritchard is pointing the finger firmly in the iPads direction. The graph above shows consumer PC sales growth percentages. Month on month they show positive growth; even through the disastrous Windows Vista period and the global recession. If you look closely, between March 2010 and March 2011 you can see a massive decline in growth with it bottoming out in December 2010 and hitting negative figures in March 2011. Now what happened in March 2010 that could have triggered such a decline in PC sales over the following 12 months?
