XO Laptop Promo: Overwhelmed by Demand?

http://www.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_id=55550

Two-timin' Intel pushes Classmate PC in China while courting OLPC

,----[ Quote ]
| When Intel and the One Laptop Per Child Project buried the hatchet—a love-in 
| that brought resources to OLPC and the prospects of Intel gaining a CPU role 
| in the XO laptop—the questions were many. Where would this leave AMD? What 
| would Intel really do with its competing Classmate PC? The answer is now 
| clear: with AMD still in the XO's "driver's seat," Intel is continuing its 
| efforts to sell the Classmate PC in markets where it will compete head to 
| head with the OLPC, including the much sought-after Chinese education market.

"Buried the hatchet"... as in "we killed someone and the fatherless son will
now get receive charity money because we feel guilty about killing his dad."

Intel has screwed volunteer developers, poor children, and AMD (again).
Microsoft was part of this smear campaign too and together they sabotaged
orders and production.
