"Microsoft, makers of most of the computer software in the world, tried to kill it with words, and Intel, maker of most computer chips, tried to kill it with dirty tricks. Of course, they don't admit to being attempted murderers. And when I introduce you to Intel's lovely spokesperson, Agnes Kwan, you'll realise how far their denials go. But the truth is the two mightiest high-tech companies in the world looked on Negroponte's philanthropic scheme and decided it had to die."

The project was a good idea, and there might have been a bit of mis-management in there somewhere.
BUT
Microsoft fanbois can apologise for this company as much as they like, it still does not change the fact that this company is a f$&king immoral plethora of scumbags who would stab their grandmothers for a few quid.
The project was to educate the worlds poorest, and these Microsoft retards destroyed the project in case it made a few Linux users and took the food from Microsofts mouth.
