That so called research was for university student computer use at some African universities. ( Far from the OLPC target market. ) Sounds like it had a bias to teaching MS office products.

I do not have the link to the research at hand at the moment. <div><br><div><div>On Apr 25, 2009, at 6:17 PM, Grant Bowman wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><p>A goal of 3 million laptops for India?
