IDC has said global PC sales declined at the end of 2012, despite the holiday shopping season and the release of new Windows operating software for machines, Times of Oman has reported. Worldwide PC shipments totalled 89.8 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, finishing 6.4% lower than the same period the prior year, said IDC. "Consumers as well as PC vendors and distribution channels continued to be diverted from PC sales by ongoing demand for tablets and smartphones," the firm said.
