Microsoft's response to Negroponte's One Laptop per Child


By Nita Goyal - Posted on 31 January 2006

 

Attached is a New York Times article from Davos about Microsoft's response to the One Laptop Per Child project by MIT's Negroponte. They propose using a cellphone as a computer connected to a TV and a keyboard. I don't know about the feasibility of Microsoft's proposal but the fact that they have one demonstrates the power of OLPC, open-source and market dynamics.

Read it to the end...it has a quote from Stuart.
