Yahoo Search to Power Acer Systems


Yahoo said it had signed a multi-year
agreement with Acer to develop a co-branded toolbar and start page for
all Acer systems. In addition, Yahoo would become the default search
engine on all shipped PCs. Acer is one of the fastest growing computer
manufacturers in the world, and the third largest notebook manufacturer.

"Yahoo!'s
world-class services and proven ability to build successful
relationships make them the right choice for our partnership," Acer
president Gianfranco Lanci. "What's more, their global coverage with
strong local engagement perfectly match Acer's company strategy."
Systems with Yahoo content pre-installed would begin shipping in
October.
