Let's just hope that the last sentence of this contribution actually will come true. Given the number idiots who want to install Windows on the machine (sorry, but I want the kids to learn real-world stuff, not Computer Frustration), and the number of other idiots who want Intel's ClassMate PCs instead (you couldn't build a machine more unsuitable to rural third-world countries if you tried), I'm still not entirely convinced that OLPC will succeed. :-(
