Geeze, what a betrayal of the publics trust - WINDOW's ONLY!

OLPC's a con - former insider<http://blog.edu-cyberpg.com/2008/08/05/OLPCs+A+Con+Former+Insider.aspx>

Nicholas' new OLPC is dropping those pesky education goals from the mission.

Microsoft and the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) foundation have confirmed that the XO laptop will soon be available as Windows-loaded machines.

“We still have no plans to make Windows available for individuals who bought an XO in the Give 1 Get 1 program though.”
