The One Laptop Per Child project announced Wednesday that it plans to downsize half of its staff and reduce the salary of the remaining employees. OLPC will also halt its development of the open source Sugar environment and focus on building its next-generation hardware device. These plans are part of a major restructuring effort that has been necessitated by the financial downturn and the organization's dwindling resources.

I'd love to blame this on big bad Microsoft and Intel (they certainly weren't helpful), but unfortunately the OLPC was yet another rudderless project with people who didn't have the courage of their convictions. Sugar was a disaster right from the start and was a huge turn off for the machines to most. They should have went into the open source world and creatively looked at what was available ;-).
