The tech downturn is over and a recovery is on the way after a "dismal" 2009, as companies resume spending on computers and software, according to a new analysis.
Forrester Research Inc. was set to report Tuesday that it expects global spending on technology products and services to grow 8.1 percent in 2010, to more than $1.6 trillion. U.S. spending is expected to rise 6.6 percent, to $568 billion.
The projected increases follow sharp declines in 2009, when businesses and governments slashed their purchases of PCs, computer peripherals and communications equipment in response to the economic turmoil and credit crisis. Many large tech companies, such as Microsoft Corp., remained profitable and increased their stock prices in 2009, but often they relied on layoffs and other expense reductions to do it.
Even with the expected rebound, "the level of computer equipment purchases in 2010 will still be lower than in 2008 or even 2007," said Forrester analyst Andrew Bartels.
With the recession over, pent-up demand for new computers and updated software programs stands to benefit the companies that make them. The October launch of Microsoft's latest computer operating system, Windows 7, also gives companies a reason to start replacing PCs.
Still, Forrester cautioned that growth will start slowly and pick up later in the year.
The research firm also expects spending on communications equipment to pick up this year, partly because of demand in emerging markets that are building wireless and broadband networks.
Forrester is not alone in predicting a rebound for the year. Last fall Gartner Inc. forecast 3.3 percent growth in global technology spending. Another analyst firm, IDC, said in December that worldwide tech spending would grow 3.2 percent in 2010, returning the industry to 2008 levels of about $1.5 trillion.
More insight into the sector's recovery should come Wednesday, with the release of figures on PC sales in the fourth quarter, and on Thursday, when Intel Corp. reports earnings for the period.
Microsoft Office 2003 Operating System
Microsoft Office 2003 is a productivity suite written and distributed by Microsoft for their Windows operating system. Released on November 17, 2003, it was the successor to Office XP and the predecessor to Office 2007.

A new Office logo as part of a rebranding effort by Microsoft, as well as two new applications, made their debut in Office 2003: InfoPath and OneNote. OneNote is a note-taking and organizing application for text, handwritten notes or diagrams, recorded audio and graphics. Office 2003 is the first version to use Windows XP style icons and colors.
Getting Acquainted with Word
Seeing the Word screen for the first time is sort of like trying to find your way through Tokyo’s busy Ikebukuro subway station. It’s intimidating. But when you start using Word, you quickly learn what everything is. To see Windows operating system Standard toolbar and Formatting toolbar and two separate rows, click the Toolbar Options button and choose Show Buttons on Two Rows. You will find the miniscule Toolbar Options button on the far right side of the Standard or Formatting toolbar.
Creating a New Document, Document is just a fancy word for a letter, report, announcement, or proclamation that you create with Word. When you first start Word, you see a document with the generic name “Document1.” Apart from the new document that appears when you start Word, the program offers a bunch of ways to create a brand-new document:

Flas the $version property string includes the operating system
Flash can manipulate vector and raster graphics, and supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video. It contains a scripting language called ActionScript. Several software products, systems, and devices are able to create or display Flash content, including Adobe Flash Player, which is available free for most common web browsers, some mobile phones and for other electronic devices (using Flash Lite). The Adobe Flash Professional multimedia authoring program is used to create content for the Adobe Engagement Platform, such as web applications, games and movies, and content for mobile phones and other embedded devices.
And Now, the $version property string includes the operating system on which the Player is running. The operating system can be either "MAC", "WIN", or "UNIX".
playerParts = _level0.$version.split(" ");
switch (playerParts[0]) {
case "MAC":
gotoAndStop ("WelcomeMac");
break;
case "WIN":
gotoAndStop ("WelcomeWindows");
break;
case "UNIX":
gotoAndStop ("WelcomeUnix");
}
As of Flash 6, you can use the System.capabilities.os property, which returns a string indicating the operating system and version name. Possible values include "Windows XP", "Windows 2000", "Windows NT", "Windows 98/Me", "Windows 95", and "Windows CE". On the Macintosh, the string includes the version number, such as "MacOS 9.2.1" or "MacOS 10.1.4".
You can make design choices based on the operating system. For example, your movie might load different assets depending on the user's operating system, or you may simply want to record the operating systems of the users who view your movies for statistical analysis.
