"Intel offered a sneak peek of the next-generation of its Classmate PC design at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco today. The new design features a tablet, touchscreen, and motion-sensing user interface, and is powered by - you guessed it - an Atom processor."

intel is first and foremost a business, and business's stay alive by making money. you can hardly hold it against intel for seeing an emerging market and wanting a piece of it. Intel is not just some evil souless corporation, they do a lot of good for compunities, open source, the environment, and so on.
to hate them just because you need someone to hate is fine, but don't put them down without knowing the facts first.

Considering the earlier incarnation of this machine was part of Intel's quite deliberate attempt to destroy the OLPC project, my own feeling is that the Classmate should by boycotted. If I needed a machine like this, I'd wait for one from someone else. The article, with the pics of schoolchildren from around the world, would like us to think that Intel cares. Intel doesn't.
