According to ZDNet, an Acer spokesperson says the company has no plans to sell PCs pre-loaded with Linux in the UK anytime soon. And DailyTech confirms that the same goes for the US.
The surprising thing is that Acer seems to be basing this decision on lack of demand for consumer PCs running Linux. But Dell reports that it's received quite a positive response to its PCs running Ubuntu. In fact, there's a rumor going around that Dell plans to offer several more computer models with Linux in the future.
We guess Acer's decision (and the decision by pretty much every other major computer maker) to stick with Windows is their loss and Dell's gain. You know, when it comes to selling computers to a select group of enthusiasts or bargain hunters.

I wish more makers would make Ubuntu laptops.
