Microsoft (MSFT) Vista may not single handedly save the flagging US PC business, but at least it is off to a good start.  According to Current Analysis research, sales of PCs rose 173% the week of February 3 compared to the immediately previous week.

The director of research at Current Analysis cautioned The Wall Street Journal that this is only one week of data. In other words, don’t get overheated.

Don’t tell that to Michael Dell.
