Steve, from the link you posted, "Gray market or "white box" vendors accounted for 58 percent of the 1.8 million PCs sold in India last year." wow! just 1.8 million per year in a country will 1B people and a very education conscious middle-class. Hope this is not a typo. Given a middle class of atleast 80-100mil people who could afford a (low-end) PC, India has got to become a major hot spot for growth for Intel/AMD. Not sure what china's PC penetration is, but if it is comparable to India, I fail to understand why PC sales will mature worldwide any time soon. Maui.
