I'm a little concerned about the future implications of the OLPC project, what it will do to the marketplace now that microsoft, intel and asus are behind it, and how it's going to affect schools.
Though it was initially aimed at third world nations, the intel spinoff definitely is not, and it would be nice to have someone with a little more to go on than my paranoid nature give us a rundown of what to expect.
