I got the feeling that the OLPC project got frustrated in dealing with (some of) the Free and Open Source software people. I never heard him say that he went to MS because of technology reasons.

Other posts have noted that OLPC will have to increase the specs on the
hardware by nearly a factor of two to run Windows.

MS also insists on sharing they joys of Windoze's lack of security with
the underdeveloped peoples of the world.

On the flip side, those who have seen a computer, at this point conflate
Windows OS with computers.

Linux needs work before it will be competitive, in spite of our hopes.
