agreed - it has the fewest flaws found because it is so SLOW nobody has the time to wait to find any flaws. i am running vista on one of the fastest machines Dell makes and it is still slower than a dead snail.
I am lucky enough to have one of the new XO laptops from olpc. this device is nothing short of revolutionary.
more thoughtful design went into this object than the boeing 777.
it is not just about the hardware. this software -with its many opportunities for kids to program and experiment - will lead to even further innovation.
intel is acting like a lumbering elephant in its heavy-footed approach on this. sad but predictable.
as for msft and the dual boot concept - i guarantee that kids will try windows once and reject it as slow, ponderous and inflexible. when you see the software on the linux boot you will not want to go back.
