The new Microsoft operating system, which debuted this quarter, has taken off, assuming four of the top five spots on Amazon's list of bestselling software, and two of of the top five spots at Best Buy.
Notebook PC sales will grow 15 to 17% per annum during the next three years, a Deutsche Bank analyst said today.
