Abstract
This IDC study investigates what types of PCs businesses have purchased and
what is motivating their choices for their next PCs. For this survey -
completed in September 2007 - 432 IT buyers were polled from small,
medium-sized, and large businesses. The results are presented in separate
documents analyzing the kinds of PCs currently in use and what is motivating
companies' choices when looking for new systems. This first study discusses
what commercial PC buyers have already purchased.
"Commercial PC buyers tend to be conservative in their technology choices, and
we have seen no indication of a change in that behavior. This is mainly because
significant investment is often involved in a technology choice, so a change
often entails even more investment or the writing off of investment, neither of
which is a popular proposition. A conservative approach often also means a
gradual trial process before adoption of a new technology." - Richard Shim,
research manager, Personal Computing
