| Seemed a harsh, but rather fair review. Found myself in reluctant agreement with most all he says...Most especially:
"Most of these changes come down to the OLPC organisation placing more emphasis on real-world usability and less on their ideals of a perfect interface. If they can manage to do this, the XO laptop could be a great tool for learning and play"
The idea of giving a child one, then possibly blowing an RMA, leaving the kid empty handed particularly disturbs me... Why wasn't the software in better shape? These kids aren't Admins, they won't know how to take the measures "Brian Hurley has been a system administrator since 1984" was able to take... bears watching... would like to hear that corrective measures are being undertaken...
