How are PC unit sales doing this year?

Anyone heard anything? Earnings 'declines' for
pc companies have been widely reported due to pricing
pressure but I haven't heard of any problems on the
unit growth side.
(pc pricing pressure = good for msft to the extent it drives
up unit demand)

Will msft beat their number by 0.02, like 'usual' or
perhaps by more??? This is what I'm trying to get at.
0.05 upside surprise won't surprise me much, but some
good data on unit sales would lessen the guess work.

thanks,
-Kevin

ps. imo, the dell news is nothing. Bad for Sun, as Unix was
the other os they were considering.
