Naturally I can only speak of the locations where I am supporting laptop 
deploymens: Rwanda and Pakistan. In Rwanda there are nearly 400,000 
laptops deployed at approcimately 1600 primary schools. These are a mix 
of XO-1, XO-1.5 and XO-1.75. Most of the XO-1.5s unfortunately have only 
2GB storage. In Pakistan, there are approximately 1000 XO-1 and XO-1.5s 
deployed. The XO-1.5s have been configured with 16GB storage. The number 
deployed  will grow in 2019 due to the transfer of XO-4 laptops from 
Australia. These are configured with 8GB storage.

All of these laptops have been updated, most to 13.2.9. Some were 
upgraded to 13.2.8 and have not yet been updated to 13.2.9.  This is the 
latest ugly release, an essential requirement for flash, mp3 and mp4 
instructional materials.
