I thought including open source software is good, and mono is one of them…

There has to be a business opportunity for shoving a real processor in an OLPC shell and making a decent computer.

Anyone notice the irony that the OLPC project spurred the creation of netbooks. Netbooks took off and are now 1/3 of computers sales (maybe more maybe less…that’s not the point.) The OLPC concept skids along like a turd thrown by an indigenous Pygmy Marmoset in comparison.

I know Nicholas Negroponte has a hard-on for trying to flip-off the computer ‘Wintel’ industry, but how long are they going to sell under powered devices to the third world.

Glad you like the OLPC dual boot video. The XO switched between Gnome & Sugar amazingly quick – 15 sec for Sugar to Gnome.

Hopefully there is not MONO in the Gnome Distribution.

Mono is a knock off of .NET and MS has licensed only Novell to use this patented tech.
