Demand for PCs and hardware didn’t grow significantly after the launch of Windows 7 in late October and is unlikely to do so in 2009 due to most Windows Vista users not needing to replace their PCs in order to upgrade to Windows 7, reports DigiTimes.
Meanwhile, some users are waiting for Microsoft to release Windows 7’s first service pack, according to sources at PC vendors.
“From the technology perspective, Windows 7’s touchscreen capabilities are currently unable to provide significant value in terms of usage on notebooks and netbooks, while sales of tablet PCs have also not seen any dramatic growth since the launch of the software, leaving large-size all-in-one PCs as the only PC segment to benefit from the technology so far, the sources claimed,” adds DigiTimes.
