PCs worldwide to top 1 billion by 2008

The number of personal computers in use worldwide will top one billion by the end of 2008, and grow to two billion by 2015, a market research firm predicted Monday.

While it took 27 years to reach one billion PCs, Forrester says it will take only five years to reach the next billion, due to new technology, lower prices and global demand from technology-aware populations.

According to Forrester, the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China will account for more than 775 million new PCs by 2015.
