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.

| netbooks which run on a Linux operating system
| called âSugarâ.
