Graphics, User Interfaces The OLPC's interface is simply way too complicated. I just read through the human interface guidelines for the project; and by god, I got lost after only a few paragraphs. How are kids supposed to learn all this? Read on for my thoughts.

So why they make interface for stupid then??? I mean OLPC looks in pictures as horrible as BoB(Microsofts kids UI). Kids dont want have kids stuff, they want same stuff and adults. Underestimating kids learning skill by making interface like OLPC is just gonna keep them away from it. Let them have Windows-type system not some dump kids only UI.
