Linux preferred over Microsoft Windows by Acer

We reported yesterday how open source is becoming more of a favorite by the end user and as money and budgets get tighter for the public this will only increase. Linux has been said to be preferred over Microsoft Windows by Acer, this will include the fact that a Linux laptop can be sold for less.

Cheap Laptops reported “Gianpiero Morbello, Vice President of Marketing for Acer has said that his Taiwanese PC maker is to develop the market for Linux, not just for its low cost ultra-portable but for the companies’ laptops as well; the reason given is due to the cost and operation of the Microsoft OS over open-source Linux”.

With this in mind, are you happy to buy a Linux laptop instead of a Windows machine?

We also heard that On Tuesday, Acer officially unveiled their entry into the low cost mini-laptop market by launching their Aspire One, which will come with both Windows XP and Linux. The Acer Aspire One price begins at $379 so it makes sense to cut costs as much as possible. The attraction for this is not only the cost but also the expectancy of a full-featured mini-laptop.

Some users also find Linux a faster software platform to boot up; the problem comes with people getting use to Linux rather than Windows.

Acer prepping gaming console: Will Acer be good in the game console market?

Acer is prepping a console gaming PC based on open standards and many of you may think will they be good in the leading market. I mean they would have to face Microsoft and Sony and even giants Nintendo.

Acer are considering the bid for the games console market or at least something in the way of gamer market share with say a game machine based on open standards. The question is “Does this mean a computer built to PC Gaming Alliance specs?

Acer are already on the PCGA board so will we be seeing some sort of PCGA spec machine, well whatever they are up to we cannot see this happening anytime soon but then we may be wrong.
