Dell Extends Windows XP Sales 'By Popular Demand'
,----[ Quote ]
| An example of a nettop is the Asus Eee PC, which runs Windows XP or Linux and
| sells for less than $400. Such low-spec machines would be incapable of
| running Vista.
|
| [...]
|
| Without continued access to XP, vendors like Asus would be forced to offer
| only Linux on their systems. It's a situation Microsoft is trying to avoid as
| sales of low-cost PCs rise in emerging markets like India and China.

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.
