The hardware problems and hobbled features as described are disappointing to say the least. Those aside, the hardest landing punch is probably as follows: "Most of these changes come down to the OLPC organisation placing more emphasis on real-world usability and less on their ideals of a perfect interface. If they can manage to do this, the XO laptop could be a great tool for learning and play."
