Pcs Quotations

Computing is a big segment. It's more than just mobile devices or PCs and laptops.

A lot of the really good features of Windows 10 - things like Windows 10 Hello, where you have facial log in and you don't have to use all your passwords, the Start screen and your ability to go through that, the touch usages of gaming, as the new games come to this product - those are going to run with PCs that have the latest features.

I used to build my own PCs... and actually had one of the first water-cooled, overclocked PCs around. I ran it at over 4Ghz, and this was back in 2001... but alas, I do not have the time for that fun anymore.

Traditional PCs face competition from specialty products like Palm Pilots and from the servers that provide the nodes in computer networks. Microsoft's Windows CE hasn't done too well in the specialty-device market, and its Windows NT faces strong competition for server customers.

I started with Apple, in a pre-Windows era when PCs seemed to involve more of a learning curve. But the fact that I'm yet to acquire so much as a single virus still seems a very good thing.

OEM revenue was light as demand for business PCs remained slow in the quarter, and we remain guarded about near-term growth. However, PC demand appeared to pick up late in the quarter, and with the launch of Windows 2000, we are excited about the opportunity to help customers migrate to this new generation of platform products.

One of things we're trying to do is make sure that PCs are able to fix themselves in a way that they haven't been able to in the past.

Media center PCs the size of suitcases haven't done that well.

Mobile devices are kind of at the opposite end of PCs, in that PCs are pretty open and you can do a fair amount with them, but many mobile devices aren't.

Mobile technology represents a great opportunity, given the strong sales of notebook PCs among both business professionals and consumers. We see this is a growth area in the future.

Most of the spokes are supplied by partners, Microsoft earns royalties, and the whole thing helps perpetuate the idea of Windows PCs as the central home entertainment device.

Many corporations upgraded their PCs in preparation for Y2K, which boosted demand last year, ... If you figure on a three-year upgrade cycle, companies will not feel a need to upgrade in 2001. Corporate IT budgets are focused more on adapting to the Internet, which includes networking hardware, storage, and e-commerce software.

Semiconductors are fed by PCs and telecom. In PCs we have seen a wave. Somewhere around June people were optimistic PCs would rebound. And we saw in June orders picking up. In July, they fell back because PCs are not picking up. They are staying flat,

Securing the data on notebook PCs is one of the toughest challenges for I.T. professionals, and with the proliferation of mobile computing across all business segments, the threat of data loss and network breaches through theft of notebooks has never been greater.

Seven weeks ago at our Dec. 7 earnings announcement, we projected a falloff in the current quarter of 10 percent based on slowness in the wireless market, PCs and peripherals, and a broad-based distribution inventory correction.

Growth drivers are perceptibly decelerating and offer minimal forward visibility as communications end-markets join previously stalled cell phones and PCs in blunting the continued rapid demand growth.

Founded by an ex-Apple employee, Nest devices do for thermostats and smoke alarms what the Mac did for PCs - Google Buys Nest made them relevant and far more valuable.

If Windows 2000 reduces the monthly and yearly cost of ownership, the up-front sticker price won't be the key decision for corporations. But most consumers will continue to use Windows 98, and vendors will continue shipping PCs with Windows 98.

Cellular technology is emerging as a new high-speed method of connecting to the Internet and we believe over time will become increasingly important for connecting PCs to the Internet.

H-P is probably quite worried, not just about PCs and servers but what Dell will do in printers, particularly in cartridges.

HP was surprisingly strong and that should boost the PCs tomorrow, but AMAT may cut into the semis,

If someone came up with a 64-bit desktop application, then AMD would have an advantage. As soon as the application base on PCs demands more than 4GB to run any particular application, that's when you will start to see pressure on the desktop for 64-bit processors. But the average use for a Windows 98 configuration is just south of 128MB, so we still have several years, as that demand tends to crawl forward at around 50 to 100 percent a year.

If Intel is seeing some problems, and it's not all market-share problems, that's got to affect the rest of the semiconductor industry. We heard there are inventories of PCs out there as well.

My personal feeling is if the complexity becomes difficult for me, I frequently will pass off part of my decision to some trusted adviser or rely on an expert recommendation, ... My husband is more into this than I am. When the decision gets into making trade-offs, I want to make the decision but I may not want to spend the time (learning about the product enhancements). When we were buying PCs in the beginning in the 1980s, it was the same situation: People wanted computers but didn't know what to buy. Everybody in the neighborhood would go to the person who was the expert.

I will virtually guarantee someone is looking to turn PCs into spam zombies.

I think there are a lot of PCs that should be recycled.

I think the Xbox 360 is a big deal. It's the first console to come out in this new generation of games. This system has more power than most of the highest PCs that are out there now. In terms of power, it's a beast.

Remote backup is a critical component for mobile users who work across multiple devices and PCs in various locations. Securing this growing amount of business and personal data is a top priority for the mobile user and the organizations they work for.

Our audiences want to connect with our content on every platform they interact with-linear television, broadband, online, radio, and now on PCs that run Windows XP Media Center. Today's announcement helps fulfill our multiplatform entertainment promise, ...

We agree with Microsoft that it's best to do this rightand in this case it's delivering Windows Vista-based PCs with confidence in January 2007.

We know that cash flow is a top concern for small businesses and that they look for practical tools to help keep money flowing smoothly. Whether small businesses simply need to update their PCs or plan to invest in their first server or a new custom business application, the fixed-rate loans from Microsoft Financing enable customers to shift their focus to acquiring what they need to move their business forward, instead of how they will pay for it.

We are delighted with the excellent acceptance of Pentium and Pentium Pro processor-based PCs and servers, which has produced a stronger third quarter than we had originally expected.

The acquisition of PCS is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the country's leading pharmacy benefits managers,

Microsoft has realized that PCs are not the center of the world. E-business or online services to enterprises could become the next big area of growth for the company.

Microsoft is not disclosing complete and accurate interface information to allow non-Microsoft workgroup servers to receive full interoperability with Windows PCs and servers.

Microsoft is not going to establish a chokehold on the information appliances industry. These appliances don't need a standardized operating system the way PCs do. In many cases, the consumer will have no idea what the operating system is, since it's meant to be completely hidden.

We believe the same thing that happened in PCs and notebooks will happen in the server market.

We are leaving our fiscal 2001 estimates and $87 12-month price objective for Microsoft materially unchanged, following fourth-quarter results that were largely devoid of the drama of the past two quarters. Nonetheless, 'caution' remains the operative word from Microsoft management, as continued choppy monthly unit demand from business PCs and a deliberate, gradual ramp from Windows 2000 platforms and related applications hinders near-term growth.

We are cutting our revenue and earnings forecasts for Compaq due to a clearly slowing consumer market for PCs -- an area that has been responsible for a significant amount of the company's recent top-line growth -- the likelihood of increased pricing pressure from Dell on the corporate side, and fears related to economic uncertainty.

Vendors must find ways to persuade end-users to replace their PCs more frequently, ... Dataquest believes that the new generation of small form-factor PCs will be instrumental in making this happen.

Beyond Y2K, IBM's hardware business, PCs and storage servers, it's not been acting well. They are not a leader in many of those product lines. I think they still have more work to do to get into the position where the entire company can then grow at double digits.

At that time, we also recognized that we'd feel price pressure in PCs and hard-disk drives. And our expectations here were right on track as well.

Between PCs and handsets you've got about 35 percent of total semiconductor consumption. This is going to impact everybody in the chip sector. Nobody is outside the scope of slowing growth in those two markets,

Companies already think that switching to a Mac OS from Microsoft wouldn't be worth the hassle. A large company with thousands of PCs has a huge number of applications that require Windows, so they wouldn't even think of migrating. That puts them in a very non-Apple frame of mind.

Companies experimenting with requiring users to purchase their own PCs should expect more Macs to enter their environments.

AMD gained on both PCs and servers, and I think H-P benefited from that. I'm basing my projections on how well Intel and AMD did. Intel didn't do so well. AMD did.

We think the Internet is tremendously profound. It will continue to have an effect on the global economy over the next five-to-10 years. But there's no way that it is a large enough opportunity to support the 400 companies that have gone public. And I think if you look back in history at different emerging industries, we've often had this feeling that the PCs for example are going to change the world. All you have to do is buy a PC company and you're safe. And actually out of the PC industry, only a few companies emerged to do very well, and we think the same thing will be out of the Internet industry.

I use the iPhone and iPad every day, and I no longer touch PCs at all.

Intel and Microsoft SMS will mean relief for those who manage computer networks who have struggled to effectively control virus outbreaks, audit networked PCs or handle computer problems without affecting users' productivity.

Intel has been struggling to find a way out of PCs for the last six or seven years. I never dreamed they'd drop 'Intel Inside.' Their marketing has been exceptionally successful.

Intel intends to provide these PCs at a very affordable price, or rather at the price of a normal PC. The idea is to allow VIIV brand to replace the normal PCs. Thus the price will be fixed keeping in mind this service idea.
