Don't take this the wrong way, I despise Microsoft in every
sense, but my point is, with Microsoft announcing their $3/unit
software deal for developing nations, does it come to any surprise
that Negroponte & Crew may be working with Microsoft so that it is
the OLPC machines out there doing the whole philanthropic thing, and
not some other brand like Dell or HP? If the OLPC project became
overshadowed by a Dell+Windows mix for the target nations, the OLPC
project would be the laughing-stock of 2007. It's actually sad to
see...some of these developing nations are having a hard enough time
with domestic problems....if they end up getting educational
computers with Windows, that will be just another long list of
problems....bloatware, crapware, whatever you want to call Windows,
it won't be good. The countries will be locked in to the Microsoft
limbo, forever forced into hole-creating 'patches' and the endless
wait for a good service pack or OS upgrade (because Vista sure isn't
cutting it).

Keep up the great work for the kids and props to Dell for recognizing open source as a real option.
