Abstract
Business usage and buying patterns are under pressure from market forces such
as the tightening of financial markets. With limits on access to ready sources
of capital for operations, business habits for purchasing, upgrading, and
replacing PCs are changing. Technology providers looking to thrive on changes
in business PC usage, such as new expected life spans of PCs, can use survey
results found in this report to align their product and roadmap strategies.
This report summarizes the results of a business usage and purchasing patterns
survey conducted in March of 2007. Findings in this report include business
users time spent on PCs, the desired features of future PC purchases, changes
in usage patterns, anticipated life span for PCs, and business users thoughts

Results from this report will help companies determine:
- -When businesses are likely to make their next PC purchase.
- -The features business users really want, based on their usage and buying
patterns.
- -If mobility is a focus for business.
- -How business views infrastructure.
