NV...in my opinion Windows XP will be a relative non issue as companies won't be rushing to upgrade and individuals won't either. PC makers will be killing each other and margins in that area will dwindle. Also many companies are finding out that it costs much more to support a net site than originally anticipated and this will lessen the need for new software as well as hardware as these companies look to cut costs. Thus it creates a domino effect which is what we are experiencing right now. I don't see a big rebound for at least 5 years, maybe more. AND if real estate prices collapse, individual spending will cease since much of this spending came from tapping additional equity on property which many have borrowed from during the past 10 years. I am afraid this could become a major issue here going forward.
