We need to see the XP offering.
MS is involved now, and let's hope that the XP version is locked down (ROM only?), comes with a suite of software for the kids, and is usable. I'd like to see this suceed with it's original purpose despite Negroponte. i.e. getting a learning tool into the hands of developing nations kids.

If it also becomes a low end business desktop competing directly with Dell, Asus, Lenovo, so be it, but let's not forget the original mission, again, in spite of Negroponte.
