There are some fairly solid rumours that Jonney Shih, Chairman of ASUS, will be stepping down soon, with ASUS co-founder Ted Hsu likely to take the reigns. He has been chair of ASUS for 23 years and has overseen some very large changes in the industry. He is widely know for the ASUS Eee PC Project, which has changed the mobile computing world from larger notebooks to the netbooks and ultraportables which have become ubiquitous. His presentations have always been both informative and entertaining, hopefully his retirement is not immediate and we will still see him around for a few years yet.
We at PC Perspective would rate his performance as head of ASUS as 9.99 out of 10.
"Asustek Computer will have co-founder Ted Hsu, currently vice chairman for ODM Pegatron, return to become chief strategy officer, triggering speculation that Asustek chairman Jonney Shih is going to retire and let Hsu succeed him."

Word to the wise ASUS, it’s
Word to the wise ASUS, it’s time to support more Linux based laptop SKUs, and not any Ultrabook only nonsense as the only laptop options. Between Intel’s ultrabook obsession and Apple envy, and M$’s windows 8/10 the PC/Laptop market is in the crapper! ASUS, Lenovo/Best Buy, and other electronics/OEM and retailers better go back to supplying some windows 7 based kit, because I’m not going to ever agree to M$’s new windows 10 EULA.
There are plenty of older on the shelf kit that has been rendered as no sale because the Retailers/OEMs have been shoving windows 10 on the devices, so I can not even shop at MicroCenter for some older model laptops that should have kept their 8.1 installs, and I’m only saying 8.1 because it can be upgraded to 8.1 pro and the 8.1 pro can be downgraded to windows 7 pro! Windows 7 is still the best for many that have been stuck with M$’s OSs over the years, and 7 it will be to the bitter end while the laptop kit gets converted over to Linux in advance of 2020.
Lenovo that Carrizo FX8800p based gaming laptop, if you have it with windows 8.1 pro that can be downgraded to windows 7 pro, well that’s a sale, if you can get the same and make in an SKU that comes with Linux Mint, then that’s a sale! If you and the retailers want more sales then you better think about offering more in the way of OS choice for Full function OSs on your PC/Laptop KIT! No Ultrabook/Thin and light laptop SKUs need apply and gather dust unsold!
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT LINUX YOU FUCKING NOOB NOW SHUT YOUR QUEER MOUTH. BITCH.
Nice
