One Laptop per Child Making antivirus software obsolete
,----[ Quote ]
| Some in the Linux community are so impressed with this novel approach to
| fighting malicious code that they have proposed making it part of the Linux
| standard. But since Bitfrost will allow only programs that are aware of it to
| run, it would make Linux incompatible with existing applications. The
| solution is for programmers to create "wrappers," small programs tacked onto
| existing applications to enable them to communicate with Bitfrost.
