Hi!<br>
I would like to ask these questions from OLPC staff:<br>

<pre wrap="">Does this also mean that people who already own XOs will find that new
software is going to require a computer more powerful than they
currently have? I thought that that was something that was going to be
specifically avoided.

This is going to be a hard trap not to fall into, although several of
the primary activities (Browse and Write) are based on desktop
products that are not necessarily aimed at low-power or embedded
systems, so I don't know if things will actually be any different.

What about the integrated 3D support? Are you planning to support
OpenGL? In that case there will be a very wide performance gap (like 3D
acceleration vs no 3D acceleration)...<br>
<br>
Also it seems that this machine will be on par with current Netbooks.
Are you planning to sell it through normal distribution channels? (As I
am interested in theat still no Netbook has the display or the
indestructible design my XO has.)<br>
