Why Microsoft Code Shouldn't be on the OLPC XO
,----[ Quote ]
| With Microsoft on the other hand you have a single company working
| on adapting software that was never meant to run such a specialized
| device. By its very nature a solution aimed a traditional PC can
| never be as flexible as a custom piece of software. Even in terms
| of application software such as Office 200x I dare say that it's
| nearly impossible to make it work on a system such as the X0.
