Hanging fire.

I’m thinking a lot of individuals, maybe some businesses, who are in need of upgrades are waiting. Apple has been rumored to have new desktops coming for a long time; new wrinkle on the OS is also due in a few months, so why not wait and get a new one that comes with Snow Leopard?

Same on the Windows side of the aisle: those of us who have held off on a new PC because we don’t want Vista are looking to upgrade at the end of the year when Win7 comes out.

I hope this means that the industry regains some pizzaz round about new year, but with everybody losing their job, jobs being a lagging indicator, and no end to the contraction in sight, we may be facing bad times until late 2010. If then.
