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."
