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

 

Haha. Yes, you can have it on your MAC too if you really want to.  

I'm slowly finding apps to fill the functionality of MS Office, OneNote & the like & oh so many others to do all kinds of cool things.  

Yes, I remember Bill saying they didn't Have any idea how big the Internet would be & had to scramble to catch up.  Those early pioneers sure did spark the collective imagination.

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?
