Vista looks poor for PC World Friday, October 19, 2007
DSG, owner of currys and pc world has been left with lots of unsold pcs which it stocked in anticipation of a rush for Vista loaded/capable hardware.
Sadly the rush hasn't materialised leaving DSG blaming Microsoft for a weak ad campaign.
Perhaps most people with a PC have decided the one they have works well enough, and not badly enough to warrant shelling out £500ish for a new one. Or perhaps their dosh is better spent on a Wii, PS/3 or the like.
Either way, new operating systems used to promise a bonanza all round for software & hardware firms. What will they do now - have to offer better features perhaps? Or could web apps eg web mail actually be sufficient for many people's basic needs?
