According to Reuters, Mr. Ballmer of Microsoft (MSFT) sees the new Vista OS driving an "up tick" in PC sales.
Any news that PC sales could move North might be a relief for Dell (DELL). The big PC company has already begun selling machines with Vista installed.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) has recently extended its lead in the US PC market, leaving Dell in second place. But, any increase in overall PC sales should be seen as helping Dell. As its sales have faltered, it stock price has dropped from a 52-week high of over $32 to under $24.
Perhaps Vista can help Dell back on its feet.
