It ain't over till the fat lady sings.  The XO is a great little box - my son loves his and it
survived the drop to a concrete driveway.  Sugar - it is an interesting experiment and getting
better - there are still dedicated people working for the success of this  project - check out
the Epaati Activity bundle from Nepal.  If NN does push XP and continues to ignore the
saleability of the XO in the developed world - well then the band will probably tune up - but
until then let's not create a self-fulfilling doom.
