40% of PCs to be media PCs by 2008

Maybe it's because most people will be buying laptops by that point, but research firm Parks Associates projects that 40% home computer sales will be media and entertainment PCs. We're not sure how broadly they're defining a "media PC" (and we're not about to drop a few grand or whatever it costs to actually buy the report), but this somehow seems oddly plausible to us these days. Though since we actually own two Media Center PCs, so perhaps we're not the best judge of these things.
