It's Time for PCWorld to Change Its Name
,----[ Quote ]
| For the past 20 years the words PC and Windows were almost synonymous. Ask
| someone what kind of computer they owned, and if they said, "I have a PC,"
| then you knew they didn't own a Mac or Linux computer.
|
| Times have changed. The Eee PC has taken the world by storm. Apple is
| resurging with full force. Linux is here to stay -- and can only grow in use
| on desktops, cell phones and other mobile devices.

With Wine 1.0 on its way maybe there will be 'Win-compatible PCs' (or
Win-compatibles), just like IBM-compatibles (before IBM sank).

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.
