Microsoft and Tablets

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft may be left behind by the growth 
| of the tablet market.
| 
| In a few years, Apple has managed to make a 
| space for itself at the center of the smart 
| phone market. While Google's has joined the 
| fray with the Android operating system more 
| recently, their results so far are 
| impressive and they're on track to carve 
| out a good market share for themselves.

XO Laptops Revamped for Secondary School Pupils

,----[ Quote ]
| Uruguay has already ordered 90,000 of the
| new XO-HS notebooks, having previously
| taken receipt of almost 400,000 XO laptops
| for primary school children. The Uruguayan
| government is clearly eager to distribute
| computers among the young generation, and
| has also ordered 10,000 of the Intel
| Classmate PC laptops. With 230,000 high
| school students in total in Uruguay, there
| is scope for further orders, with delivery
| of the new PCs scheduled to begin in
| September this year.
