I have to say it again on this post, recently Apple patented the design of their MacBook Air which had the other posting fuming with hate.
Microsoft wants to capture the market this time with Windows 8 and to do this it needed to create something it had control over. Acer, instead of innovating, they copy and cheapen designs that are worthless knock-offs. People don't want knock-offs, they want something that is stylish and cool.

Instead of Acer complaining, they need to bring out something that will gain wide acceptance than thank Microsoft for kicking them in the rear...

great article!
OEM's will ultimately win with not being partnered with Redmond anymore, why continue to face a loss since everytime msft creates something it fails and majority of the loss is taken by the partners.

This is the same thing going on right now with box as they screw their gaming business partners!
Its a shame all those game developers still do not understand that manufacturing cd's, the majority of their revenue will be wiped out very very soon. Those game companies will take a serious beating when they roll complete online games without cd's. Another blow to OEM's and game manufacturers. They are basically taking all the money now and giving a tiny percentage to game developers, when before that actually made more distributing their own cd's. Now the game will turn and MSFT will steal all of majority of the profits from the developers and give them a fraction of percent. Disgusting how they helped xbox become what they are and now msft will do as it has always done in the past in every product they ever build. Why do you think activision is selling their stake? Cause they already know that there will be zero profit left in this market...
Why support a company that will not support locally. Why support a company that will not hire American natural born citizens? Why support a company that hires thousands of inmates in prisons in Washington and Texas to package Microsoft products for pennies an hour? Why even care anymore about a failing company that would do anything to compete even it they have to steal the profits from its own partners?

I was going to comment on how biased your post was, then I read your username.

In a Destiny which is like a Human chess game played by the same system of rules also governing physic and chemistry, the value of Money must lose the scepter or else the next move is already set.
In this extreme polarity and almost fracture of Humankind, the good news are from the fact that Bill Gates, the richest man in the World, is on the side of Equality.
Therefore, if it were in the end a matter of money to prevail between Zionists and Equality, between these 2 sides, what one could buy it is also affordable for the other.

At last, Zionists will be defined as all those who do not believe in Equality.
For example, those who claim superiority for themselves or for others like who believe in queens and kings or also the followers of those Religions that still today are fired up by our difference and not by what we have in common.

We will see if the whole Snake will survive or only Its Head.

The threat of the Zionist Plan and its hidden Direction can vanish only if there will be one single front capable to hold back that constant attempt to divide all people.

Those who would want to change this course, but feel paralyzed, because of their inborn Country or Religion, can be part of one new Circle of Equality

One Equality which is neither financial nor Equality between man and woman but a new system of values sculptured into one new set of rules

MS is doing the right thing. Might as well do something right yourself the first time instead of having other OEMs making super inferior products at launch making W8 look worst. MS surely learned from the spam of shit android tablets that arrived after the 1st iPad launch. Acer iconia is NOT a very good tablet. Now they have to focus on making something better than the MS tablet.

Acer/Asus/HP/Toshiba/Fujitsu/Dell etc. etc. have all been MS's Achilles heel.

They have sat on their backsides and penny pinched for the past 5 years. Whilst creaming off money by installing buggy crapware that ruins the Windows experience.

This has let Apple run away with cool looking products even if the tech inside them is a year behind the Windows machines (not in all cases).

These companies just make MS look shabby when it's not the case.

It's about time MS took the stick to them and hopefully we might start seeing laptops that don't have crappy glossy plastic, crappy 1366x768 TN screens, Intel graphics and loaded with crappy, buggy bloatware.

Time for MS to start making them "work out of the box".

Totally clueless, more and more students are using tablets instead of notebooks.

Alluzeros - Then those are useless students. What are they going to do when they get into the workplace and they need them to actually do something? I understand that the tablet replaces the textbook and the notepad, but writing a term paper on a tablet would be quite painful. I guess for people who don't know how to type anyway and need text-style word completion, it is a good ft??? The tablet can write your term paper for you as long as you give it a couple of letters for each word??? I couldn't imagine being a student and not having a laptop.

[citation][nom]steve_ballmers_boyfriend[/nom]Microsoft shouldn't stick with software, they suck at that too. See Vista, Windows ME, Windows 8, Azure, IIS/ASP.NET, SQL Server.They should stick to "lobbying" the US congress and "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish", that is what got them where they are today.http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/c [...] &year=2012http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embra [...] extinguish[/citation]


Oh yeah they are bad guys and Apple isn't because they spend more money lobbying than Apple. Apple's policies are only "lie through our teeth about the competition, sue everyone who makes anything that looks like what we have, and make our products pretty instead of functional so clueless people will buy them."
