PCs: 1 Billion and Counting
By Remy Davison, Insanely Great Mac
July 1st 2002
>From Altair to G4 and beyond.
The PC has reached a milestone - 1 billion of them have now been shipped worldwide,
according to a study by the Gartner Group.
A number of statistics on sales and the types of PCs sold are quoted in the report by
ZDNet. According to the Gartner study, 38% of all PCs have been sold in the US, while
75% have gone into business/education environments. 81% of PCs shipped have been
desktops. Only around 2% have been servers.
The study includes a brief recap of the history of the Altair, Zenith and Apple PCs.
The next billion will be less time in coming: around 2008, according to the report.
Analysis: We''d predict that the ratio of notebooks to desktops will alter
substantially over the next billion. And we wonder how many of those billion bear an
Apple logo.
