  Microsoft: Expect 1 Billion Windows PCs by 2010
Time: 14:32 EST/19:32 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

There are 600 million Windows PCs today, according to Microsoft. By 2010, there will be more than 1 billion of them, one company official said.

Will Poole, the head of Microsoft's Windows client business, made these bold predictions here at the annual Microsoft worldwide partner conference in his keynote Monday morning.

Poole said Microsoft expects the demand to come from enterprises in developed countries, all sizes of companies in developing markets and from OEMs that tailor Windows for specific markets.

Many industry watchers have talked about the Windows desktop market as being a saturated one, with little potential for the huge unit and revenue growth of the past. But that's not the picture Microsoft's painting.
