How is the PC market shrinking? Do you mean that new shipments are declining? Because this is not the same thing AT ALL.

  Total "PC" units are shrinking, and Windows PC sales are shrinking compared to Mac computer sales, and phones are exploding compared to PCs. What comparison could you make where Windows PC sales are "up"?

    >Total "PC" units are shrinking source? Total units sold are shrinking (or steady, depending on your definition of PC and who's numbers you are using), but total units in operation is much closer to describing Microsofts market and hard to measure. >Windows PC sales are shrinking compared to Mac computer sales Macs are personal computers in every sense except marketing speak. The competitor selling better isn't a sign of the market shrinking. >and phones are exploding compared to PCs And in the summer desk fans sell better than hair driers. Phones are not in the same market as PCs.

      Macs are personal computers in every sense except marketing speak. Right, but the comment I'm replying to 'way up there is about MS annoying its customers to the point that they leave.

    >Total "PC" units are shrinking Yeah? Care to back this up with some data? Because I'm looking at a very expensive market research report which disagrees. Sales of new PCs are down, because people don't need a new computer every 2 years. This doesn't mean total PCs in usage are down.
