  • I hate Intel and Microsoft! When Negroponte approached them to partner him in the OLPC project they refused, and now they wanna profit from the idea...fucking hipocrites!

  • Intel did do their testing in Nigeria as well. At about the same time OLPC was implementing programs over there. They are definitely trying to compete with OLPC and steal away business from a non-profit association for their profit.

  • Seconded. I would have written my thesis paper on this very topic if only there was more information available at the time...

  • one for us and one for the needy thats what their trying to say. BUT THE LAPTOPS ARE UGLY!!

  • No kidding... I would too, beauty of being an investor/business owner :)

  • They are trying to get Windows XP on both the Intel Classmate and the OLPC XO, as both can have the factory-installed Linux OS replaced after they are sold to governments. A deal has been struck to reformat Nigerian Classmates with Windows XP, but the XO version of Windows has the problem of drivers and its sheer size.

  • I'm suprised Micropoly hasn't jumped on the band wagon yet. ... guess they're waiting to see if it has any profittablity before buying them out. :p

  • hahah.. intel..

  • it shows too obviously Intel's agenda for it's own purposes and benefits. surely it won't be as open as OLPC where many parties including those who will be targeted by OLPC initiative are involved from early on in developing the platform as well as the infrastructure architecture.

    here, we have big buck hegemons all over again. showing their seeds to harvested later on.

  • can a child keep that laptop to take it at home? Is the cost going to be that low? Or is it going to be a machine for children to use only when in school?

    If it's the latter then this laptop has nothing to do with OLPC. It is for the teacher and a few pupils, not for the children... and in my view it is the wrong way to go.
