From the start this project while noble has been riddled with ineptness.
From a total lack of direction to too many chiefs and not enough Indians to
a totally hosed distribution system to corruption on the demand side it's
fair to say the project has been a mess.

So now one of the lead developers on the project, Ivan Krstiæ is resigning
under a cloud of suspicion.

It was bound to happen because it's all about money.
Somewhere, somehow, someone or some persons is using this project for
financial gain and that's just the way it is, sadly.

The Linux community is naive if they believe that everyone is interested in
sitting around the campfire singing a few choruses of "Kum-Ba-Ya" and
giving away everything.

People, unfortunately are motivated by money and power and the Linux
community is no different in this respect.

I hope the project renews it's focus and weeds out the greedy ones who are
ultimately going to turn this noble effort into a commercial entity.

Let the conspiracy Linux loons start circling and blame it all on
Microsoft, Intel and anyone but themselves.

Re: OLPC Project is Falling Apart...As Predicted.....

Aww Steve, weren't there any chairs to throw today?
The OLPC is the best lappy for what it was designed to do, be used in a
rugged enviroment by children (and adults) who know nothing about computers
and networking.
You just can't fathom that, can you?
Too bad, they are pretty fun to use, and the wireless networking is
excellent.

1. Stop top posting.
2. Please learn to read....
3.I didn't say the OLPC wasn't a good device.
4. I'm talking about the people running the project NOT the device itself.

Back to school for you.

That's nothing new: PC World in UK has an entire network of stores dedicated
to ripping off people "who know nothing about computers and networking": The
Linux****s love the place - A fair percentage of them apparrently work there

You mean like this Linux laptop from Lenovo?

Yea right....

That Lenovo POS will be packed up and returned and the salesperson, most

ThinkPads have very good support for Linux (or is it vice versa?) and have
done for years. Just because Lenovo is not making Linux versions of some of
the utilities does not mean that there are not open-source alternatives.

So? I thought you were making a big deal out of the fact that they haven't
made Linux versions of the ThinkVantage utilities? As I said, there are
open-source alternatives.

No.
I'm making a big deal about a POS Linux machine that half works out of the
box being sold by the #3 computer manufacturer in world.

And BTW it goes far beyond the Thinkvantage crap.

Again, read the post....
You know, the parts you snipped.

And for the record, that exact machine is sold with Windows and all the
features the consumer paid for work perfectly.

Once again the Linux user is left holding the bag.

If it has OpenOffice on it, it they comes with more functionality than does
Vista.

Yep, Microsoft and Intel walked away from this one, as the laptop sells with
the OS for about the same price as Vista OR a processor capable of running
Vista. Trouble is, Vista can't run itself, it needs a $1000 worth of
hardware on top of its price tag.

They made it this way to keep costs down. And Intel nor Microsoft are
really cost effective for what they are trying to do.

Funny how Microsoft Borg like to kick OLPC.....after leaving in a pout.

Yawwn...
Can't you Linux loonies ever actually address the topic?

Keep costs down?

Selling a laptop with Linux on it that DOESN"T SUPPORT THE HARDWARE?

Oh yea, that's a great way to keep costs down.

OpenOffice is available for Windows as well.
It's free too.
Virtually nobody is using it.
I wonder why that is?

Re: OLPC Project is Falling Apart...As Predicted.....

And of all the responses to the OP so far, not one has made a comment that's
germane to the topic - OLPC, Kristic, Intel, and Negroponte. Et al.

This is a sad imitation of a forum for intelligent discussion.

Tom Dacon
Dacon Software Consulting

And I say this without comment on the actual appropriateness of the topic to
the Windows Vista forum. Although I confess I wouldn't have heard about it
if I hadn't heard about it here.

The OLPC has inspired many sub $200 notebooks all running Linux like the

OSen can't touch.

Proof positive Linux is needed everywhere to break the crappy windummy OSen.

I mean, Spashtop BIOS on Ausus motherboards is booting the motherboard
in 5 seconds. There are 1 second variants available in specialist
apps like clusters.

There isn't any need for micoshaft any more.
Particularly as ExPEE can now be run on dual core Linux boxes
faster than it can on a real PC using VirtualBox emulation.
(GET THIS - ITS AN EMULATION!!! - A VIRTUAL PC)
Thats how bad micoshaft products are these days.
With things like AMD quad core already out, you know
you can do a lot more with your computer than virus and
spyware ridden botnet friendly micoshaft PCs.

And its all free to copy and install or distribute
to as many machines as you want. Comes with source
code so you can modify to heart's content.
No wonder 1 million+ new users flocking to Linux EVERY MONTH.
And embedded Linux now sells milllion+ embedded Linux

Lots of millionairs being made by the minute as they

I have nothing against the OLP and I said so up front.
It's a noble project.

My point is that it is mismanaged and that the project is being driven by
greed making it no different than any commercial project.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

But of course you are!

Somehow I think asstroturfers like you are just paid to post by Micoshaft
corporation because Micoshaft (your sponsor and funding party)
is afraid of Linux.

Linux is free and replacing 1 million+ destops per month and the
rate is increasing.

You are just afraid everyone else will start downloading for
free Linux and copy and install on as many machines as they like
because it is free and released under GPL license. It comes with
source code so that you can modify and install it in
your gadgets. Thats why all the college students had rushed
off into Linux eons ago and now sell 3 million+ embedded
Linux gadgets PER DAY!!! That is raking in revenues of $200+ billion
per year.

Sheesh! No wonder micoshaft asstrotufers are a waste of time.

There is a lot more money in Linux than useless asstroturfers
like you working the newsgroups let on.

I recommend everyone do a bit of Linux and slowly part ways with
Micoshaft Corporation. There is a lot more money to be made out
there without spending it on micoshaft products.
