a boost to PC sales. I'd guess no, but for a reason the author didn't touch on: for the majority of users, who mainly use their computer for word processing, email, and web functions, the computer and OS they currently own are just fine, and they really see no need to 'upgrade'. Especially when that 'upgrade' means re-learning a new OS at best, and realizing that the new OS is worse than the previous one at worst-the latter point struck home by the Vista/XP comparison/disaster.

As for equipment upgrades, the twin forces of poor economy, and the realization that a new PC isn't going to open a file any faster than your present one, are going to be enough to keep sales down. Let's face it-there's huge market saturation in first-world countries right now, and the entire PC industry is in for a shake up. Read, downsizing.
