OLPC as Microsoft advertising program

That's what this OLPC has become. Cheap advertising for Microsoft. 

And if there is anyone to blame for the "non-adoption" of the OLPC, it's not the lack of
"Windows", but Microsofts BRIBERY. Guess who paid the money to make the Libyan Ministry switch
to the "Classmate" instead?

Yes, because Microsoft is clearly the only one at fault here. The despotic government of Libya
is obviously without blame.
