AOPEN Inc. () is a major electronics manufacturer from Taiwan that makes computers and parts for computers. AOPEN used to be the Open System Business Unit of Acer Computer Inc. which designed, manufactured and sold computer components. It was incorporated in December 1996 as a subsidiary of Acer Group with an initial public offering (IPO) at the Taiwan stock exchange in August 2002. It is also the first subsidiary which established the entrepreneurship paradigm in the pan-Acer Group. Currently, AOPEN is a subsidiary of Wistron Group, a spin-off of the Acer Group. They are perhaps most well known for their "Mobile on Desktop" (MoDT)〔MoDT details: http://global.aopen.com/news_detail.aspx?auno=5299&ntype=Corp.%20News〕 solutions, which implements Intel's Pentium M platform on desktop motherboards. Because the Pentium 4 and other NetBurst CPUs proved less energy efficient than the Pentium M, in late 2004〔"Quick and Quiet: Pentium M Desktop Boards by AOpen and DFI". Patrick Schmid, Achim Roos. http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/12/24/quick_and_quiet/. Retrieved June 18, 2006.〕 and early 2005,〔"Dothan Over Netburst: Is The Pentium 4 A Dead End?". Patrick Schmid, Bert Töpelt, Frank Völkel, Uwe Scheffel. http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/05/25/dothan_over_netburst/. Retrieved June 18, 2006.〕 many manufacturers introduced desktop motherboards for the mobile Pentium M, AOPEN being one of the first to offer such solutions. ==Company Philosophy== AOPEN's founders built a company around the idea of “open & share.” The “&” sign represents one of the images of the entire corporate identity.〔AOPEN Global site: http://www.aopen.com〕 AOPEN specializes in Ultra small form factor (uSFF) platform applications; and product development and designs characterized by miniaturization, standardization and modularization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AOpen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
