is a good dose of the idealism that started it. And, it has now got it in full measure! As most of the readers know, I am enthusiastic about the OLPC (and have obtained one via G1G1). Slapping Windows on it may make it more useful in the short term (every business quarter), in the long run though (years and years) it would probably kill it and leave thousands of students with a tool that pushes the wrong kind of learning down their throats.
