It is kinda sickening what Intel is doing. I also agree that once OLPC is destroyed they will drop the clasmate. Plus OPLCE won't be able to get the price to drop as fast if they don't sell as much units as they projected. I guess Intel isnt ethical enough understand that they are not competing with AMD here, but a truly humanitarian effort to Bridge the digital Divide that exists among the poorer countries. To Intel it just seems to be the bottom line is that AMD is goin to sell more chips.
Intel had years to help out the poorer nations, but they chose just to sit by, rake in their profits and to a blind eye to the gaps. Now that someone is truly making an effort to they are getting scared that somehow affect their bottom line. The whole thing disgusts me.
