Maybe it's US law that is outrageous. I just read the other day someone got a patent for the Breakpoint. To me, this is just an abuse of the intended system. The fact that nobody can do anything about it is another example of a broken system.
That's a noble idea, but unfortunately I think most people don't really care. Ever see that glassed-over look just explaining how pop3 works (even when they ask)? "What I do is click this and then that window pops up with the blahblahblah but it's not working. And my internet is slow." Not saying people are stupid, most are just not interested and don't feel they have to be. I'd say the malware is succesful due in a large part to widespread apathy. Technical issues are second.

Sorry but the theme of the OLPC is to keep an open system that children can learn from, experiment with and maybe even hack. Hacking on windows is limited to editing registry entries and malware. but lets ignore that for a moment. You want to write windows programs? Last I checked you had two compiler options anymore: Microsoft and Microsoft. Even the cost of visual basic is going to be close to $100 US. Lets figure too that Windows will include, guess what, Internet Explorer and Outlook so now you are going to need to install anti-malware crap and the entire machine is just going to groan and grind. I just can't see how putting windows on this thing is going to do anything but screw it up - and maybe that's the intention. Sorry, but I've gotten pretty jaded towards microsoft the last 15 years.
from all those cash infusions* from microsoft, Baystar, and Royal Bank of Canada. I expect the 60 million got invested into the pump-n-dump also, so there should be plenty to stick in MySQL's G-string.

I'd warn subscribers of the liberalism and content that is available though. That first goatse pic is going to be enough for them to blow up the noc.

This will most like be impacted by the defectivebydesign DRM/Trusted Computing campaign[0]. Microsoft does nothing without ulterior motives[1] to market dominance; at nearly any cost. They are pros at it, and have been doing it a long time. The trouble is most of Microsoft's "brilliant ideas" do not work, are security holes, require constant patching and never quite get to version 1.0 without a lot of duct tape. It just ends up a big headache for everyone and ACPI has turned into just that. I think this is what the OP meant to summarize with the word "shit".
Just like peaceable muslims shouldn't have to bear guilt for 911. Making the decision to kill people is a personal choice, and it's not right to hold the remaining majority accountable for the actions of one, or a few. A witch hunt just brings false closure to the real problem and soothes resentments. It does nothing to help or solve the real problem of individual people that aren't wired like everyone else.

will they run windows?
Yeah right. I wonder what Mr. Wood does there.
That's not version 8, it's the infinity symbol turned sideways to show the number of problems in IE that haven't been fixed.
