A survey of corporate purchasing post-Windows 7 shows an uptick in Apple sales
At the end of ChangeWave’s November survey of corporate IT spending — one that reports the strongest growth rate in two years — is the fever chart at right.
Under the heading “Apple Corporate Mac Sales Set for New Highs,” Andy Golub and Paul Carton write:
“To date, Windows 7 does not appear to be hurting Apple’s (AAPL) corporate Mac sales. Rather, planned Mac buying has hit a new high in the latest survey, with one-in-ten respondents (10%) saying their company will be buying Mac laptops and 7% desktops in the 1st Quarter.”
For more results from the survey — including Microsoft (MSFT) Windows 7 satisfaction ratings and purchasing plans for Dell (DELL) and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) computers, read the ChangeWave Blog here.
