</div>Yes, but not for the reason you give. The OLPC XO is still in<br>
production, and is still in deployment. The best reason for not<br>
selecting the OLPC XO as your main target is so that Sugar can be<br>
suitable for as many platforms as possible.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Are new XO being sold?

Any design decisions that leave the OLPC XO terribly behind will cause<br>
