You think the XO and Asus are equal?!
XO/OLPC, an underfunded startup with high hopes but few resources.
Asus, one of THE main motherboard manufacturers worth billions...
Yep, really identical them. Asus had the knowhow, the resources and the
wherewithall to resist microsoft pressure to some extent.
OLPC didn't just have microsoft on its tail, it had intel too.
It was a doubleteam attack.
Still think the two situations are even similar?
