Acer Aspire
(Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET) Acer may only be hurting itself by criticizing Microsoft.
The Taiwanese company, best known for its low-cost Netbooks from several years ago, has been one of the most outspoken opponents of Microsoft's new hardware push since the software giant first revealed its plans in June. Comments have ranged from pleas for Microsoft to change its plans to predictions Surface will flop. The common theme is that Acer believes Microsoft should stick to what it knows -- software -- and leave the hardware to its partners.
The problem with that criticism, though, is that it makes Acer look like a sore loser, kind of like a tennis player grousing over getting beaten by his former doubles partner.
