Acer refuses the Microsoft Surface

Acer says no to the surface of Microsoft and its promotional strategy around Windows 8, to serve its ecosystem and might deter other manufacturers to adopt it instead of Android.

If Microsoft is generally satisfied with the game software to provide different manufacturers, its size has certainly made ​​waves when it was announced. Even today, the first tablet of the firm of Steve Ballmer scares manufacturers. Hailed by critics and consumers, they see it, those, a strategic blunder on the part of its creator and that would establish a competition with its partner’s long term. This is particularly the case with Acer founder Stan Shih, already did not mince words last month before handing over to JT Wang , chairman of the firm, this month. It comes to actually ask Microsoft to do “think twice "before launching into the hardware that they have no control, perhaps hoping to raise a wave of protest from other manufacturers.

Microsoft wants yet reassuring about his approach that began in the single goal, or substantially all of the features promote its new Windows 8. Boasting a design that has already seduced and characteristics rather upmarket unlike his counterpart at Google, the Nexus 7, for fellowships rather small, it is reasonable to assume that the surface will affect the Windows ecosystem 8 .Other manufacturers will set the bar high if they want to stand out, especially since prices should not be very competitive with a license already minting around 80€ for the Microsoft OS.

On the other hand, it must be said that if the shelf Microsoft has been rather well received, its operating systems have always been near to unanimity. Whether we speak of older versions of Windows or the Windows Phone. It is therefore important that the Redmond company can fully demonstrate the capabilities of its OS and wants to somehow keep hold of its market as it already does with smartphones. This is not really a bad thing when you think about some Android devices. Finally, if Windows 8 is able to win consumers, tablets from other manufacturers should still take advantage of this radiation , to a lesser extent, certainly compared to the light enjoyed by the media surface . It remains to be seen whether, actually, Microsoft will simply accompany the launch of Windows 8 with his tablet, or whether it intends to maintain this competitive collaboration in the longer term by giving an offspring ... This would still not to the agenda.

Meanwhile, gently tighten the screws to manufacturers for them to innovate and make products more mature, we, we do not say no!
