MIT spinoff's little green laptop computers a hit in remote Peruvian village
The higher-than-initially-advertised price and a lack of the Windows operating system, still being tested for the XO, have dissuaded many potential government buyers.
What? You don’t pass on OLPC because it doesn’t run Windows. You just don’t. M’kay?
There is so much wrong with demanding support for an expensive, sucky, proprietary OS for an open laptop originally aimed at selling for $100 USD that I won’t even bother going into it. Open Source is the way to go (Mac and Windows fanboys be damned).
