Alice Rawsthorn writes today about the realization of the OLPC dream, and the next million laptops. A few details are off: the UN-watching blog isn’t part of the UN and doesn’t speak for anyone there, for instance. But there are some interesting quotes from people at Architecture for Humanity and MOMA.
Here is a report from a recent visit to a Nepali school which uses OLPC:

How is OLPC’s headway now? I definitely support it, in this digital age, computer seems indispensable.
“Techies have said it wouldn’t work and raged when OLPC replaced its bespoke operating system with one of Microsoft’s” is also deeply incorrect and damaging, which is a big shame.
