AMD Teams up with Virtual Desktop Pioneer
,----[ Quote ]
| Like virtual desktop approaches such as Citrix and VDI, it means users can
| get access to the latest applications on a device that can't run that
| software itself, but can act as a kind of VDU or thin client. That could mean
| a PC running Linux or an older version of Windows, or perhaps a lightweight
| device such as OLPC-- the One Laptop Per Child project.

OLPC team shows off UI design
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, the demonstration was impressive from a design standpoint, although
| the educational aspects and project criticisms were basically glossed over.
| There are still a few remaining UI elements that seemed overly complicated,
| such as a color picker in the drawing activity with hue and saturation
| controls, but on a purely technical level the XO looked very easy to use, and
| its collaboration features were extremely impressive.
