Digital Inspiration wrote to mention a Reuters article discussing Europe overtaking the U.S. as the largest PC Market. From the article: "Shipments in Europe, Middle East and Africa grew 17.1 percent to 72.7 million units, overtaking the United States which grew 7.5 percent to 67 million. In 2004, the United States still slightly exceeded Europe, both regions taking about 62 million units."
