"targeted at developing nations and those too poor to afford proper computers for education ...... to provide a "high-quality Windows experience" on OLPC's devices" LOL can u believe that,they want to make their next fake move but this time @ poor uneducated people who dont know what a PC is !! I hate when people think like that

Wrong. First of all "uneducated people who dont know what a PC is": Those countries as well as many other do have PCs, and lots of them, and not because they are poor they are ignorant. What they do not have is an original copy of windows in each one, or almost any of them.
So it is a shame that you believe that about developing countries.
That OLPC and the XO are not an attempt to educate anyone, they meant to sell scrap, outdated and unsupported hardware to governments that can not really control the output of this implementation (that is making sure they are not sold crap and are able to recall defective products) and allow Microsoft to penetrate those markets that have a high piracy rate, which constitutes an expansion of the market. As I said in some other post, it is all about marketshare, and if Linux can put a copy on each of those laptops, Microsoft will lose a substantial marketshare portion, as well as to allow Linux to be introduced as a plausible replacement of windows in the mind of an entire generation of people.

Except when made as a joke, disregard comments about how old the last post here was. As long as you're replying with something constructive (as it is the case), there's nothing wrong.
