,----[ Quote ]
| If you look at the photo on James U's blog post, you can really tell the
| difference - his image has the XP screen looking way more natural. And if
| that were the only trespass, who really cares, eh? Everyone Photoshops.

Meet Linpus Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Since Linpus already supports Mobile WiMax and Wi-Fi and works closely with
| hardware vendors, it shouldn’t take long for the next Moblin-enhanced Linpus
| Lite to appear on store shelves. In fact, since Linpus and Acer showed test
| versions of the new Linux running on Acer demo systems, it seems a safe bet
| that by the time you’re able to buy an Acer UMPC with Linux, it will be this
| version that will be running on it.

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.
