TSMC: Vista adoption will not boost PC sales
,----[ Quote ]
| TSMC, the world's largest contract chip maker, believes PC sales
| growth in 2007 will be similar to last year, despite the hype
| surrounding the launch of Vista. The company is considered an IT
| industry bellwether due to the wide variety of chips it
| manufactures. TSMC also does its own market research in order
| to decide how much it should spend on new factories.

Given that Vista will usually require a new PC, this projection indicates
that firms do not believe in Vista's prospects, despite hope.
The only studies suggesting that Vista will spur sales are commissioned by
Microsoft, IIRC.
