>Total "PC" units are shrinking

source? Total units sold are shrinking (or steady, depending on your definition of PC and who's numbers you are using), but total units in operation is much closer to describing Microsofts market and hard to measure.

>Windows PC sales are shrinking compared to Mac computer sales

Macs are personal computers in every sense except marketing speak. The competitor selling better isn't a sign of the market shrinking.

>and phones are exploding compared to PCs

And in the summer desk fans sell better than hair driers. Phones are not in the same market as PCs.
