[sf-lug] not to bring up the xp-olpc thing again, but...

[Lx Rudis]

my GF just sent me this from BBC, and i don't recall
if this question got asked already:

which 'four or five countries' is Negroponte referring
to?  i was under impression that offshore IT had an
interest in moving their people away from an OS that
'phones home' to the continental US...guess i'm an
idealist, eh?

here's the link:

...another question that springs to mind:  is there
anything online regarding benchmarking of computer's
performance with Xp vs. the resident OS?

thx.  please flame me privately if i'm opening old
wounds here.  i went into the archive, got more
confused, and rooting around solo on the web seems to
be eating time with no real answers...sameer?  help..?
