There's also that fact that the Eee PC uses Intel processors. It was
mainly /Intel/ that tried to kill the OLPC - their gangster pals at
Microsoft only helped.
Of course the Vole has a few racketeering initiatives of it's own too.
Look at what they tried to do to Mandriva in Nigeria, for example.
Yeah, Microsoft aren't evil at all, they're just cute fluffy puppies.
DooFuS says so, so it must be true.
