The co-branded start page will automatically appear when an Acer customer opens a Web browser on a new laptop or desktop computer and will offer: Yahoo! content, such as news; links to Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Music and Yahoo! Sports; the Yahoo! Personal Assistant, as seen on Yahoo!'s new home page, for quick access to Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo! Local information; direct links to specific Acer customer services; and an Acer module for up-to-the-minute information on Acer news and products.

The start page will reflect the look and feel of the new Yahoo! home page in order to provide Acer customers with the best and most innovative portal experience. The co-branded Yahoo! and Acer toolbar will give consumers immediate access to any of Yahoo!'s products and services from any touch point on the Web.

Additionally, with the upcoming launch of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7, Acer will also set Yahoo! as the default search engine for IE7 on all of its computers.
