????微軟（Microsoft）Windows電腦制造商們這些天來(lái)總算可以松口氣了，根據(jù)CNN財(cái)經(jīng)頻道記者艾德里安?卡瓦特上周五發(fā)布的報(bào)道，2013年第三季度Mac銷(xiāo)量下滑，PC銷(xiāo)量上升。

????但如果我們稍稍把眼光放長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)，看看上面這張圖，就會(huì)明白曾經(jīng)無(wú)比強(qiáng)大的Wintel帝國(guó)如今已日薄西山。

????自2010年一季度以來(lái)，Windows PC銷(xiāo)量就開(kāi)始急轉(zhuǎn)直下，并在過(guò)去6個(gè)季度一直呈負(fù)增長(zhǎng)態(tài)勢(shì)。（每季度的銷(xiāo)量都要少于去年同期）

????大家也許還記得，史蒂夫?喬布斯正是在2010年一季度發(fā)布了iPad。

????全球計(jì)算機(jī)銷(xiāo)量并未下滑，只是越來(lái)越多的消費(fèi)者開(kāi)始轉(zhuǎn)向蘋(píng)果（Apple）iPad等設(shè)備。科技博客Asymco的賀拉斯?德迪歐在上周四發(fā)布的下面這張圖就證明了這一點(diǎn)。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）??

????The makers of Microsoft (MSFT) Windows computers can take some comfort in the fact that, as CNN Money's Adrian Covert put it Friday,Macs down, PCs up in the third quarter of 2013.

????But take a slightly longer view, as the attached chart does, and things look pretty bleak for the once-mighty Wintel empire.

????Windows PC growth rates have been shrinking since the first quarter of 2010 and have been in negative territory (i.e., fewer units sold year over year) every quarter for the past six.

????The first quarter of 2010, you may recall, is when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad.

????It's not as if the world stopped buying computers. It's just been buying more computers that look like Apple's (AAPL) iPad, as evidenced by chart below, posted Thursday by Asymco's Horace Dediu.
