OLPC, make development country addicted, negroporte must died!!!

Microsoft including Windows on the OLPC laptop for $3 reminds me of Nestles practice of giving free baby formula to mothers of newborn babies: get them addicted, and then later you can charge whatever you want.

By the way, discussions with Microsoft started at WSIS (Tunis) in 2005. It was at this forum that they launched the OLPC at the UNDP stand. That afternoon, Microsoft executives were lobbying the UNDP officials to allow then to showcase various ICT success stories in the Middle-East. The following day, they got their chance and all we were told was the way they had partnered with the Jordanian government. Now, if you know the modus operandi of Microsoft, it is partnership. Then dependency and later addiction before MS start nailing you for all you have.

hope u dead end.!!!!
