24 Aug 09 Shuttle Pirating ECS Employees for Netbook Invasion?
The key for any company’s success is nabbing key personnel from other companies. Normally the immediate goal is to fish for the employees of a rival company and it looks like Shuttle has done just that. Though unconfirmed, rumor has it that Shuttle is planning to invade the netbook market thanks to their newly formed team mostly coming from rival Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS).
Shuttle has been known to deliver small form factor desktops but it looks like they are on the verge of expanding. Shuttle has made various experiments to get into the laptop scene but it looks like they lack the manpower to support the development for such. But now, it looks like all that has changed with the said raid of manpower from ECS. ECS of course denied losing any employees or perhaps they have just lost count.
