Windows 8 is not successful, but also to engage in Chrome OS book

Computer store news: Acer President Jim Wong (Jim Wong) recently said that the Acer notebook with Chrome system since its release in November, has already accounted for the company shipped to the United States 5% and 10% of the products. This ratio may not look very high, but considering the launch time of the Acer Chromebook is not long, its sales situation is actually quite good. And Acer's other product lines are struggling, so the Chromebook seems to be one of Acer's fist products.

Weng Jianren’s comments on the weak Windows market are very interesting. He believes that the current situation does not prove that Windows 8 is a successful platform. He said: "After the launch of Windows 8, the entire market has not returned to the growth track. This is an easy way to judge success or failure. ”

These words are spoken from the president of Acer, which sounds quite unremarkable. Perhaps this also explains why Acer is keen to adopt a diversified operating system, not to mention that Google's system is still free.

Although Chrome OS is not the cause of Microsoft's problems, Microsoft's current situation is of course beneficial to Chrome OS.

Lenovo recently announced that it will launch the student version of the ThinkPad Chromebook. If Google can successfully enter the youth market, Chrome OS is likely to grow in the next few years. There is also news that HP will also become a Google manufacturer's partner.
