The XO laptop has been poo-pood quite a bit along the way for percieved, or expectied shortcomings with the project. Critics said that there was no way a laptop to fit the project's specs could be made for $100. Others said that the poorest children in the world needed basic health and nutrition services before they needed spiffy computers. And even if they got these computers, how would these kids be able to do anything with them in the first place? Others just seemed offended by the lofty idealism. But even if any, or all of these criticisms are accurate, as this address shows, the process of making this laptop has blown-up the traditional standards we used for evaluating "green" laptops. The XO laptop is way, way, greener than anything else.
