isn't to make money
I have a feeling...I haven't looked into it...but I have a feeling that most of the associated vendors are making a profit on the thing. I can't imagine an assembly plant saying, "Sure, we'll sell at cost because your heart is (allegedly) in the right place."
- andyn 19y agoI suspect it's more about easing people into MS products in the first place. Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions eventually, of people being exposed to their first computer and what does it have in it at the moment?
- jsmcgd 19y agoIts fine for the associated vendors to make a profit, there wouldn't be any conflict of interest there, but it would be bizarre / disappointing if the OLPC project was trying to make a profit from the XO (which I'm pretty sure it isn't). Why can't Microsoft just keep its greasy mits off!
