Lenovo Beefs Up Their Ranks

Lenovo is going all out in expanding and improving their product line by acquiring Switchbox whose operations have been a mystery so far; but not its founders. Michael Sievert was a former Microsoft Windows executive who was responsible for Windows Vista Worldwide Introduction in 2006 and 2007. He along with Robert Dickinson and Blake Ramsdell have joined Lenovo’s ranks.
The acquisition of the company is expected to bring new and exciting technologies to Lenovo’s computing line who already rolled out instant-on technologies to IdeaPad S10 netbook. Aside from this, they have also launched ThinkPad W700DS laptop workstations with two screens and IdeaCentre A600 (PC with remote control Wii like capabilities).
I am hoping the acquisition of Switchbox would add technologies that enhance the Windows Vista experience and provide consumers with better products.
