Sadly, I think the OLPC is headed for the dustbin. There will be a plethora of low-cost laptops available soon. And unfortunately, I expect the majority of laptops delivered to children around the world will end up being stolen and sold on the black market.

Wrong company reference!!

This article in part states; "He wants someone to help manage the organization "more like Microsoft," The mere fact that Microsoft is a software company then that reference should have been towards a company such as IBM and a person with a character like that of Lou Gerstner; and, with such a reference you both software and hardware expertise. ;-) !
