Re:Windows kills the OLPC (Score 1)

The goal of the OLPC project is not "to educate children about how computers work". There seem to be some delusional folks in our community who think that the project is trying to breed the next generation of Linux-hackers and open source developers. It's not about teaching computer science, it's not about developing Open Office plugins and it's not about learning to write bug-free code. It's about providing an educational tool to give children a "window on the world, as well as a highly programmable tool for exploring it" and that's very different from what some people think it is. Perhaps you should read about the project's mission from their site: http://laptop.org/vision/mission/ One of the most important lines they have in there is that the "OLPC is not, at heart, a technology program".
