Microsoft continues to be the excuse for many of the PC manufacturers for losses in PC sales. Acer is the latest company to back away from what was once the Microsoft gravy train. The 4th largest PC manufacturer has announced the company will pursue more non-Windows business in the near future, namely more Google based devices.
The announcement will come as another blow to Microsoft, which this week slashed the cost of its own Windows 8 Surface Pro tablet in the US and other territories. The firm has already taken a $900m hit to its bottom line over its Surface RT tablet.
