So, MPC Corp filed for Chapter 11 protection today. MPC bought the tablet division of Gateway last year, and Acer purchased the desktop/laptop PC division.
MPC was removed from the NYSE a few days ago when their internal audit did not match the SEC's external audit. This was a week or so after MPC secured a DoD/DoHS deal for laptops.
Essentially, this means that everyone who bought a Gateway tablet PC in the last few years is suddenly without a warranty. Unfortunately one of the colleges in my university signed on for the tablets from 2004-2007, we started selling the Latitude XT as of this year. Soooo there's going to be a lot of fallout on the Business School for this, since it was their decision to use Gateway.
Just another day for campus computing...
