I remember watching a documentary on this for 60 minutes. The founder of OLPC was speaking against intel for developing the Classmate because he said they didn't want OLPC (powered by an AMD cpu) to be too successful. The point was that Intel was not in it for humanitarian reasons by rather markeeting and sales. Intel said the same about OLPC, saying that it was doing the exact same thing. Now I wonder if by entering the game, Intel hopes to replace the AMD cpus with Intel ones.

[quote]Absolutely, except that AMD's in it for the money/marketing as well. Intel's first angle of attack was to try and kill OLPC outright, but they've obviously decided to cover all the bases and force AMD out of OLPC as well. Typical solid and aggressive business tactics from Intel.[/quote]

Win-win for the children.

All company names should be with held as a show of compassion not marketing
