These excerpts taken from the WDC 10-K filed Aug 20, 2008.
Desktop PC Market
 
The desktop PC market consists of the overall hard drive market for desktop computers. Individuals use desktop computers in homes, businesses and multi-user networks. Desktop computers use software applications for word processing, spreadsheet, desktop publishing, database management, multimedia, entertainment and for other needs. Hard drives store desktop computer operating system and application software, as well as the data used by the applications.
 
We believe that the demand for hard drives in the desktop PC market has grown in part due to:
 
  •  the overall growth of desktop computer sales;
 
  •  the increasing needs of businesses and individuals for increased storage capacity on their desktop computers;
 
  •  the continuing development of software applications to manage multimedia content; and
 
  •  the increasing use of broadband Internet, including content downloaded from the Internet onto desktop computer hard drives.
 
We believe several other factors affect the rate of desktop computer unit growth, including maturing desktop PC markets in North America and Western Europe, an increase in first-time buyers of desktop computers in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, and the lengthening of desktop computer replacement cycles.
