(GSM Insider) - Acer President: People Need More Time to Learn How Windows 8 Works.
In the latest interviews with Acer President Jim Wong, he suggested that it is still early to judge on the success or failure of Windows 8.
In the past, market observers would accuse Windows of lacking innovations. And Windows 8 with brand new features have still been greeted with pessimism. Some observers believe the new interface and touchscreen control will dramatically delay adoption by consumers. But companies must take risks when introducing innovations, and therefore it is still too early to say whether Windows 8 is a success or not.
Acer's internal research points out that a consumer, after controlling a touchscreen product for more than 20 minutes, would want to use his or her fingers to touch any display he or she sees. This indicates that touchscreen control is an irreversible trend. Acer believes touchscreen control will be a strong selling point, but it still needs more time to take off.
As a brand vendor, Acer's job is to accelerate acceptance of the new operating system and the company has established several experience centers in Europe, Australia and Asia to help consumers understand more about Windows 8, as well as Acer's products. As for the US market, since Microsoft already has 35 stores throughout the North America region, it won't be necessary for Acer to invest resources in the market to educate users there. - Digitimes
Seems like Acer is confident on the latest operating system from Microsoft. Acer interested to introduce more PCs, laptops and tablets with Windows 8 in the near future.
