Windows face risk as IT spends on Cloud, not PCs
Apart from the increasing demand for tablets and smartphones, a shift in spending to cloud and virtualization technologies has also softened the PC demand. According to the report, the hype for media tablets has slowed down the consumer PC demand.
On the enterprise front, PC demand has undermined this year as big businesses reallocated their budgets. New PCs are no longer the priority as IT departments migrating to cloud infrastructure. It is reported that corporate buyers are focusing on new IT solutions like cloud and virtualization.
The news is even worse for Microsoft. Only Mac sales have registered a growth, while other PC vendors have lost share. Microsoft's Windows platform is gradually losing traction as enterprises are investing dollars toward cloud and virtualization technologies over PCs.
Moreover, consumers are turning to smartphones and tablets thereby resulting in weak consumer PC market.
Seeing the rising demand for mobile devices, many PC makers are exploring the tablet market to drive growth in their business.
