Relax, take a deep breath, and don't believe everything you read.

I'm going to say two things and leave it at that: Redmond has made no
inroads with OLPC -- of any kind, and the '$100 laptop' moniker always
referred to the target price, not initial price. It still applies in
that sense, and the price increase had absolutely _nothing_ to do with
any of the reasons I've seen reported, let alone with Redmond.
