,----[ Quote ]
| Today we will present the first of what will ultimately be a three-part
| series where we take a closer look at OLPC Oceania. We're going to start off
| by giving you a brief summary of their extensive concept note which contains
| a lot of interesting and relevant information on their plans to achieve One
| Laptop per Pacific Child. On top of that we have conducted an extensive
| two-part interview with two of the key people behind the initiative which
| we'll post over the coming days.

| Hardware manufacturers have been asked to provide expressions of interest by

| The specs look spookily close to the current emerging market of netbooks –
| low priced ultra portable computing devices – and it seems most likely that,
| in a blow to Microsoft, a variant of Linux will be chosen as the operating
| system to power the units given that Linux attracts no licensing fees
| whatsoever and has been proven to work on low powered hardware already.

| Linux, equipped in 30% to 40% of Eee PCs sold, will probably sustain a market
| share of about 30%, said Samson Hu, a general manager at Asustek. The company
| estimates it will ship at least 5 million Eee PCs in 2008 after selling about
| 4 million since the product's debut.
