> Negropante wanted everything his way with NO ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS In my view that is a misrepresentation of the conflict by Otellini. OLPC is not just about getting any laptop into the hands of a child. It is more importantly about education. A lot of OLPC's effort is based on the "constructive learning" philosophy. The XO and its software is a result of this. The Sugar interface, mesh connectivity, multi-user activities and built-in software are all based on constructionism. Intel's Classmate doesn't participate here at all. If the Classmate was compatible with these technologies, Negroponte would have no objections to Intel pushing it. Otellini obviously puts much less importance on the OLPC learning philosophy and technologies.
