Intel OLPC
The breakup between OLPC (One Laptop per Child) and Intel was a bad one, but this is being dragged further as Nicholas Negroponte starts accusing Intel of taking OLPC customers to the Classmate PC.

In most business environments this is the norm, products compete with each other but things seem different with this product which is designed to help kids.

Nicholas Negroponte said: “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.”

Do you think there should be more maturity in this breakup considering the project is for the children of the world, or is business just business?
