they are just doing this to stop the OLPC , why? simple OLPC uses the Intel's competitor processor (AMD) and obviously got to embed Windows XP (WINTEL FTW!) cos OLPC brings Open source with Linux on it, think about it, they gotta stop that the future of those developing nations taste freedom on the computer sense, it's better to tie them to establishment before it's too late you know, after all they are future consumers, god forbid they want to use a linux based OS in the future, so better to shove wintel on them right now even if they gain very little (cos they wont lose at all!).
