Take Acer’s president, Gianfranco Lanci, who has just said that ‘PC makers are really not counting on Vista to drive high demands for the industry.’ Or Samsung Electronics, who now says that DRAM demand has not matched anyone’s predictions based on Vista’s now failed projections, something that is being echoed by the industry as a whole.
