Some Australian guy jokingly suggested that it's a Microsoft ploy to show
that OEMs cannot sell Linux.
Speaking of which, Dan Loyns, who is a Microsoft shill and zealot (very
notorious in fact, to the point of risking his job) has just posted an anti
Dell/Linux article in Forbes. Laura Didio and Rob Enderle, who are shills as
well, also did this recently. The OLPC, as you can imagine, was no
exception. There's an army of so-called journalists and analysts whose money
source is so easy to spot. MOG has already lost her job for this and some
analysts got banned. Sadly, some journalists do not know who's who and they
accept the FUD which they eventually publish somewhere, even if it's a
personal blog.
