TG Daily have reported that Acer are planning on boosting their new model of netbook – the 10.2 inch Acer Aspire One by installing not Linux, not Windows XP but, by installing Windows Vista on their next generation of netbooks.
According to the article on TG Daily, the new model will be powered by an Intel Atom CPU and will possibly be branded as the “N-Series” in Acer’s future netbook line up. It is expected that the 10.2 inch Acer netbook will support upto 320GB hard drives and that these models will cost from $500 when they are released in 2009.
Acer could be hoping to out-sell their rivals Asus in the netbook market by using the Vista operating system as an incentive to buyers and with a larger screen too that would seem incentive enough but, it remains to be seen whether consumers will be happy to pay up to $200 more for the new Acer netbook than for the current Aspire One which is popular in it’s own right, without the 10.2 inch screen or Vista OS.

[...] Bei Eeepc.net kann man lesen das die Wahrscheinlichkeit ziemlich groß ist das auf dem 10 Zoll Acer nicht mehr Linux oder Windows XP zum Einsatz kommt, sondern dass Acer voll und ganz auf Windows Vista setzten könnte. [...]
Netbook manufacturers should stick with XP/Linux until Windows 7 is out next year…
