iPad Cuts Into Microsoft's PC Sales
It looks like tablets are moving in on PC sales. Yesterday, Microsoft Windows reported $4.45 billion in third-quarter sales, which was less than the $4.6 billion that analysts were expecting.
Bloomberg has more: “Personal computer shipments unexpectedly fell 3.2 percent in the quarter as consumers held off purchases and shifted to tablet computers, IDC said. Multiyear contracts with corporations and robust demand for Office business software couldn’t make up for consumers who are choosing iPads over a new laptop with Windows.”
