The price of corporate PCs, which Dataquest says comprise more than 70 percent of the Japanese market, held steady and even increased slightly during the April-to-June timeframe. This indicates that businesses are not following cost-conscious consumers, Dataquest said.

Japanese PC shipments during the second quarter fell 11.9 percent, to 1.67 million units, compared with the same period a year ago. The Asian country is in the midst of a serious economic slump, but PC buying has rocketed since the July 25 debut of Microsoft's Windows 98, suggesting that consumers were waiting for the operating system upgrade, as they generally did in the United States.
