Next major PC company to go Linux will be HP
,----[ Quote ]
| Sources within HP partners such as Novell and Ubuntu keep giving me hints
| that an HP desktop Linux will be on its way sooner than later.
|
| How soon? If I knew that, I'd tell you. But, I think we're going to see HP
| announce both business and consumer Linux lines at this August's LinuxWorld
| trade show in San Francisco.
|
| What I expect to hear at LinuxWorld is that HP will be offering two Linux
| desktop SKUs. One will feature Novell's SLED 10 SP 1 for business users. The
| other will be for home owners and use Ubuntu 7.04.

Acer: PC industry 'disappointed' with Vista
,----[ Quote
| Acer president Gianfranco Lanci became the first major PC manufacturer to
| openly attack Microsoft over the Windows Vista operating system in the
| Financial Times Deutschland on Monday.
|
| Lanci said the operating system was riddled with problems and gave users and
| businesses no reason to buy a new PC, according to the report. Taiwan-based
| Acer is the world's fourth-largest PC manufacturer, after HP, Dell and
| Lenovo.
|
| "The whole industry is disappointed with Windows Vista," Lanci said.
