Bill Gates looks pretty stupid saying stuff like this about the One Laptop per Child (OLPC).
A little taste of it…
“If you are going to go have people share the computer, get a broadband connection and have somebody there who can help support the user, geez, get a decent computer where you can actually read the text and you’re not sitting there cranking the thing while you’re trying to type,” Gates said.
I can’t help wondering what he would be saying if those systems were going to run Windows on Microsoft hardware.
Before his critique, Gates showed off a new “ultra-mobile computer” which runs Microsoft Windows on a seven-inch (17.78-centimeter) touch screen. Those machines are expected to sell for between $599 and $999, Microsoft said at the product launch last week.
Sour grapes.
