A REPORT from market research firm In-Stat confirms what the world+dog
suspected - Microsoft Vista is hardly boosting PC sales at all.

As usual, corporate buying cycles remain a major factor in PC sales, and
most people that want Vista will wait until they buy a new machine rather
than upgrade existing models.

Ian Lao, an analyst at In-Stat, said: "System sales that had been
muted waiting for systems pre-loaded with Vista rather than XP are expected
to work through sales channels in the next two quarters. However, these
sales represent an offset from last year rather than actual new demand
creation." æ
