The announcement by PC manufacturer Acer Computers a couple of weeks ago thatit was going to focus on linux-based PCs, laptops and notebooks presents interesting opportunities for ICT policymakers and users alike in developing countries. Given the low markups that prevail in the PC business, it makes a lot of diffrerence to manufacturers whether they install MS Windows for a charge of up to 100 $ or linux, for close to nothing. Dell has shown the path with Ubuntu on its some of its laptop and desktop models, HP has followed with Novell Suse.
