I got an XO last week and someone said yesterday, "I'm surprised Apple

To be fair, Apple did offer OLPC the use of OS X for free but Negroponte
wanted a Free OS and chose GNU/Linux (with the help of red hat!)
It's just a pity that Apple refused to adopt a more pro Free software
stance with their software and hardware, because they are definitely a
company which relies more on its over funded marketing and design
departments than it's actual products.
I want an XO :(
