| The machine - formerly known as the $100 laptop - has an integrated
| screen, keyboard and video camera. It requires less than 10 percent
| of the power of standard machines and wirelessly links to other OLPC
| machines to form a "mesh network" that can connect inexpensively to
| the Internet.
| 
| What it doesn't have is any software made by Microsoft, a choice
| that reportedly made Bill Gates very bitter and presumably
| exacerbated the anxiety he and his company feel about their place
| in the future of computing. Instead, OLPC has chosen to use an
| open-source Linux operating system.
