Windows 7 will bring us benefits
Network equipment makers are expected to also benefit
from the launch of Windows 7 and lead to a boom in the industry.
Tony Tsao, CEO and president of D-Link told DigiTimes he expected to see revenues grow in the fourth quarter 2009. He added that demand for network equipment is likely to
drift down slightly in December due to seasonal factors, but the
overall performance of networking device vendors in the fourth
quarter will be as strong as that in the third quarter.
The new orders seem to be coming from emerging markets,
including Brazil and Russia. Demand from China is also strong due to the
government's stimulus policy, Tsao said. But he is expecting many companies to undertake massive
upgrades of their networking infrastructure after Windows 7 is
released.
Many companies had not upgraded to Vista and were using
systems that were nearly ten years old.
