Intel backstabs Negroponte

Intel 'undermined' laptop project

This news is really a sign of intel's cunning business practice. Quoting Negroponte, OLPC founder, "They would go in even after we had signed contracts and try to persuade government officials to scrap their contract and sign a contract with them instead. That's not a partnership.", an example in Peru where Intel sales staff tried to persuade the country's vice minister of education, Oscar Becerra Tresierra, to buy the Intel Classmate PC.

Awful, shame on intel!

I really hope that this project is successful, but seeing this omens, perhaps it would be delayed for a couple years. Perhaps OLPC must switch back to AMD, using geode or some other new processor.
