In the recent events most OEMs, including Acer, have criticised the new product and the possible negative market it may create Microsoft’s new tablets have spurred a new kind of criticism toward their upcoming launches in Fall 2012.

CNET has contacted Microsoft for comment and will update this report when we learn more. This isn’t the first time Acer has criticized Microsoft’s tablet ambitions.

Microsoft is clearly revamping its long-held strategy: Produce a software and let others handle the hardware.

Although we have seen the original version of this strategy at Cupertino with Apple, Microsoft face a different scenario altogether. The Windows makers are taking a plunge into the hardware business with the launch […]
However, both of them were of little words responding to Microsoft’s latest stunt. While HP isn’t commenting on Surface “we will have a full range of Windows 8 machines,” HP spokesperson Marlene Shostack told the media. Dell had little to say as well. “Microsoft is an important partner to Dell and we look forward to […]
Microsoft Monday replied Apple and Google with its new line of tablets. The company announced two version Surface RT and Surface Pro that will be branded and marketed by Microsoft themselves.
