Bruce Perens on the Microsoft Take-Over of OLPC
Bruce Perens has written a good screed about what I understand as his feelings that Microsoft making a play to take over OLPC.
Scary stuff, but I think that its a bit of a no brainer that with all the powertop style improvements, no matter if governments get pre-installed OLPCs to kids - the kids will hear they can get longer battery life and plain better software off the net and get rid of Windows themselves.
Like every other kid in the 1/6th of the world already part of network society is doing these days.
