Japan PC shipments to rise sharply in H2 '98--IDC TOKYO, June 15 (Reuters) - Japanese shipments of personal computers (PCs) for home use are expected to grow more than 20 percent year-on-year in the later half of 1998, market research firm IDC Japan Ltd said on Monday. The robust growth in shipments would be prompted by the launch of Microsoft Corp's (MSFT - news) Windows 98 operating system and by declining prices for PCs and related equipment, IDC said in a statement. PC shipments for the home-use market in the quarter starting in July were expected to rise 20.6 percent from the same period a year ago to 538,000 units, IDC said. In the fourth quarter, shipments were expected to rise 25.5 percent from a year earlier to 594,000 units, it said. Annual PC shipments for the home-use market were expected to total 2.13 million units, it said.
