Back in November of 2006, I wrote a piece about the One Laptop Per Child Project. I was afraid that the project's focus on creating a whole new paradigm (the Sugar UI) would ultimately intervene with the actual goal of the project: teaching stuff to kids. Ivan Krstic, former director of security architecture at OLPC, wrote an essay in which he heavily criticises the OLPC project.

Bingo.
The goal of educating children is far more important than the goal of spreading Free software or fighting t3h ev1l Microsoft. Those children will define the future of the world - our software will not.
