If this laptop will only be limited to educational sales, then I think this would be a great opportunity for Apple to gain some ground. Why not donate OS licenses to the organization or charge a small $1-$5 licensing fee? It would be a great way to get kids used to their OS and prep for future sales when they become adults or want a more substantial laptop.
Only 1 gig of flash memory is needed to hold OS files and a few documents. Kids could use networked storage space through their schools or purchase USB memory keys. It's designed for kids to use for educational purposes and it's more than sufficient for that purpose.

I think they did a great job with it.
