Great news! You suppose their are any naysayers out there who are eating...
quiche about now?

Who knows, maybe this will signify the start of true software competition to Microsoft!

And for people complaining about the price. I'd say $200 is cheaper than $249 for the low end Intel model; and the XO is built for a more rough environment I'd wager. Ironically the classmate was shipped without Windows also; Linux Mandriva to Lybia.

I was also tickled to see the grassroots wifi network effort in that country. So much for no infrastructure in the "third world". Let's face it maybe that term should be retired soon.
