If there's 150 million of them in circulation, it could make a pretty large 
market for people to develop software for.

And, of course, one of the revolutionary aspects of giving everyone a 
computer will be that they'll figure out ways to fit it to their own needs, which 
almost certainly means custom applications, which will be easier to support and 
sell on the fact that they'll work on every machine in the market.
