"With XP no longer available anywhere else, people who really want it will have to get it from OLPCs, rendering them unusable. In this way, MS will satisfy customers who really want XP, while destroying the OLPC. "

No longer available? It's easier to download a copy or a key than go buy one. Anyone geeky enough to bother with an OLPC is geeky enough to have multiple copies of every MSFT OS since DOS...

I really hope you're being sarcastic. If not, you really need to lighten up. I have never had difficulty with slashdot due to twitter, trolling or not. However, the pages and pages of people screaming "ZOMGWTFBBQROFLCOPTER ITS TEH TWETTTX0RS!" really do ruin a good article.

So get over yourself. You're not some brave chivalrous hero. You're just as much of a troll. You do more damage to slashdot than any of the other trolls do. For goodness sake, just shut up!
