Global desktop shipments in 2015 expected to fall over 15%

Global desktop shipments in 2015 expected to fall over 15%: Global desktop shipments are expected to decline 15% on year in 2015 and some brand vendors may see their shipments drop over 20% as demand from emerging markets such as China was weaker than expected, while Windows 10's free upgrade plan is expected to have limited effect on triggering a replacement trend, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
