David Pogue reviews the OLPC XO laptop for the New York Times. His take is quite favorable, giving Linux two positive stories in as many days in a pretty high-profile publication. "The truth is, the XO laptop, now in final testing, is absolutely amazing, and in my limited tests, a total kid magnet. Both the hardware and the software exhibit breakthrough after breakthrough — some of them not available on any other laptop, for $400 or $4,000."
