What Have We Learned from OLPC?

,----[ Quote ]
| Next, the humble XO laptop which was once 
| ridiculed by the titans of technology, spawned 
| the netbook. And the netbook is eating the 
| computer market at a stunning growth rate. 
| From essentially $0 sales in 2nd Quarter 2007 
| to $3 billion in sales - 20% of the entire 
| portable computer market - in 2nd Quarter of 
| 2009, netbook sales show no signs of slowing.
