Microsoft’s move to give away heavily loaded Acer Ferrari’s to various tech bloggers out there has back fired on them. Earlier last month Microsoft had given away quite a few Acer Ferrari models, the Acer Ferrari 1000 and the Ferrari 5000 worth almost $2500 dollars each.
These laptops were loaded with their latest operating system, ‘Windows Vista’ and the bloggers were encouraged to review the machines and if possible for them to post their feedbacks on the heavily read blogs. This has not gone down well with a few and have come out angry saying that it’s a ploy for MS to bribe them in giving away good reviews of their latest Operating System.
After all this, the company sent out letters and emails asking them to only evaluate it on true basis and after doing that they could return it or give it away. This was certainly a pretty foolish thing to do (sending letters/emails) as it made the situation even worse.
I for one would definitely not mind an Acer Ferrari 5000 coming my way, would you ?
