Intel joins OLPC
Jul 15th, 2007 at 12:11am  
Intel has joined the OLPC initiative.

Thots?

Will these all run Linux?

Will this make Linux more popular (numbers-wise) than Windows?

Anyway you slice it, it seems like a good thing, no?

OLPC originally was going to put Linux on the computers, but now Microsoft is trying to cozy up to OLPC.
