DigiTimes reports European PC sales are worse than anticipated:
Deliveries of PCs taken by distributors and retail channels in Europe in May have so far fallen short of original expectations by 5-10% probably because of the impact of potential financial risks arising from the impasse in Greece, according to PC vendors.

Shipments of PCs to Europe in April were 20% lower in volume than originally expected, signaling that PC demand in Europe is worse than originally estimated, the sources said. Lower than expected shipments in May so far have further worried PC vendors, the sources indicated.
