look at this ! The Japanese market for Windows NT-based workstation computers is expected to increase by about 47% in calendar 1999 to 83,000 units, IDC Japan, the Japanese unit of International Data Corp, said on Monday. IDC said the Japanese workstation computer market in 1998 had risen a steep 123% to 56,200 units from 25,200 in 1997. The increase is due to strong demand for computer-aided design (CAD) at manufacturing industries, for computer graphics at software makers, and for trading systems at financial institutes.
