Negroponte Not Seeking Replacement, OLPC XO to Run Windows in 60 Days or Less (Laptop Magazine)

So the idea that the machine is supposed to be basically trouble free, so that disadvantaged
children in very poor countries can get lots of use out of it instead of ending up with a
broken system that bogs down and doesn't work right anymore, has gone down the toilet now?

Kind of makes you wonder if the project's intent is as noble as it first seemed. The consumers
of this product (children) are going to get a massive downgrade in terms of longevity and
robustness. I would think that would clash with the original goals of the project, but maybe
those goals got displaced somewhere along the way...
