Ivan Krstic, former director of security architecture at OLPC, wrote an essay in which he heavily criticises the OLPC project.

Apple actually offered to port Mac OS X to the OLPC early in the beginnings of the project. For free, even, iirc.

Yer. It's just a pity that there is no educational software to run on the Mac.
