However, the Evil Empire will resort to its tried-and-true tricks and
pressure developing countries to install Windos MEII on the XO, probably
with kick-backs and political meandering.
Microsoft marketing execs obviously do not realize teh pitfalls of
constantly challenging other, sometimes better, products, that are
already in the hands of at least one fifth of the purported 1 billion
Internet users.
Microsoft thries to put their bloated Vista on the OLPC laptops, and of
course it won't run as is built, and when stripped down to run on those
meager resources, it will be the laughingstock of the third world!
Ah well...
