Acer pushes multibrand strategy with product barrage | |

Acer Inc. took a big step forward with its multibrand strategy on Tuesday, aiming at increasingly smaller demographic slices of the PC market with the launch of two dozen products ranging from wide-screen, all-in-one PCs to tiny nettops.

The officials were somewhat cautious about Windows 7 on netbooks. "When the new netbooks come out, we'll be able to use XP for about another year," said Wong. "We're negotiating on Windows 7." The negotiations are about "the user experience" he added. |
