"techies absolutely loathe its in-built operating system"

I shall mail them forthwith.

It's tiring putting out fires like this, and the zombie meme of
Windows on the XO continues to mutate (!) in the wild. Every
newspaper, site, and blogger who reports on OLPC or Sugar gets added
to the mailing list though, so as we do launches and media campaigns
hopefully the undead meme will fade away.

Great photo though, those XO-1s have clearly taken a licking and keep
on ticking (with apologies to Timex)
