The problem with the OLPC is that they were very slow. The delay from the prototype to show that they could mass produce what is almost kills this project. But thanks to the OLPC have been taken out ideas for ultraportable, such as the use of flash memory interfaces or modified for this type of screens and laptops.

Oh Microsoft, when will you ever live down the Apple comparisons? It’s not all the mactards’ fault, you know—not when you are pulling stunts like this. Seriously, you have a “How To” page showing customers “how to” open the Vista software packaging—and it’s a 3-step process.

Holding the box with the Windows logo facing you, grasp the red tab on the top of the box, and pull it to the right to open the box as shown here.
