PC sales not linear
I think that is because PC sales are not linear. If an even amount of systems were sold each month it would mean 19million sold as you said but I imagine sales fluctuate and this would likely be a dry time as Christmas and the sales immediately after are usually peak times followed by a lull afterwards which is when Vista was released.
On top of that the fear/confusion of Vista has led many to hold of buy a PC until Vista has proven itself so I would guestimate PC sales to make to be in the region of 10-12ml at most rather than 19ml during the last couple of months.
