Ya know when we started this they had fixed goals one of them being...:

"software

XO is built from free and open-source software. Our commitment to software freedom gives children the opportunity to use their laptops on their own terms. While we do not expect every child to become a programmer, we do not want any ceiling imposed on those children who choose to modify their machines. We are using open-document formats for much the same reason: transparency is empowering. The children—and their teachers—will have the freedom to reshape, reinvent, and reapply their software, hardware, and content."

I'll have rather Strong feelings about it if those goals shift to the creation of another resource for MS and her rather despicable sister corps.
