This comment summarizes it all:
OLPC = One License Per Child
Reported by the Inquirer,the OLPC project is throwing away its linux pedigree,opting for the impossibly corporate Microsoft Windows.
What,I wonder,is the rationale behind it. An open-source OLPC would have been magic,even more so in poor countries,or in countries with large barriers to technology.
By making it Windows the OLPC is effectively dead;it needs a bigger platform,licenses,updates and distributors,and introduces security risks in all these countries:having an open-source laptop? Cool. Having a closed-source PC? Backdoors come to mind.
Next:get your own Asus eee
