Non proprio Sat, 12 Apr 2008 22:52:40 +0000 http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=285#comment-95768 [...] Dopo l’annuncio del poco chiaro piano di Microsoft di diffondere delle versioni del suo sistema operativo per 3$ nei paesi in via di sviluppo, si era diffusa la strana idea (o FUD) che il One Laptop per Child sarebbe stato disponibile anche in ‘versione Windows’. Un altro computer con Windows pre-installato vi chiederete? No, no! non vi preoccupate. Walter Bender, presidente del Software e Content per l’OLPC, ha ufficialmente smentito qualsiasi tipo di accordo con Microsoft e sottolineato che nessun governo ha mai fatto richiesta di una così improbabile accoppiata. Christopher Blizzard uno dei principali sviluppatori di Sugar, sistema operativo dell’OLPC, ha aggiunto che Microsoft in quanto azienda software possiede alcuni prototipi del laptop, ma a parte qualche richiesta di aiuto agli sviluppatori di Sugar, che hanno gentilmente risposto loro di guardare il codice, Redmond non ha mai dato l’impressione di essere in grado di far girare qualche cosa di proprio sull’OLPC.

It's interesting what you say about the politics, spin and obfuscation surrounding OLPC. Your article is very welcome as it attempts to get at the truth. What is becoming clear is that the OLPC is a not the solution but a starting point for development. This project needs to be handled in a sensitive way. Different needs and cultures must be addressed properly. Only then will the One Laptop Per Child project be a success. Right now is an exciting time for technology, particularly mobile technology covering laptops, mobile phones and PDAs. Also the web and they way they all work with the web. I get my laptops and peripherals from Portable Universe and I can thoroughly recommend them. The best thing for people to do is to talk to them, let them know what your needs are (both current and future) and they will come up with the best laptop for you. I also get blank DVDs there for my backup. http://www.portableuniverse.co.uk That’s a great article. It’s interesting what you say about the politics, spin and obfuscation surrounding OLPC.
