"Leading PC manufacturer Acer has accused Microsoft of ratcheting up the cost of Windows by effectively forcing consumers to opt for the Premium version of Vista. Acer claims that the Vista Home Basic - the new entry-level Windows - is so poorly featured that consumers will simply reject it. "The new [Vista] experience you hear of, if you get Basic, you won't feel it at all," said Jim Wong, senior corporate vice president at Acer. "There's no [Aero] graphics, no Media Center, no remote control."

Well, I agree but...why beat up on Acer?!
If (Insert Manufacturer)
Dell,
Gateway
HP
Had balls (and frankly it might take a lot less balls for HP/Dell to flip Microsoft the tall one and start preinstalling Linux than a small manufacturer like Acer)
