at least three interesting points there from walter
  1. sing the praises of the desktop
  2. the cloud is not the solution to all problem
  3. the need for more simplicity along the entire spectrum from developers to end users
I'd love to hear an expansion of these positions

Also noticed recently that NN reacted against the "netbook" terminology: http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2009/07/xo-is-not-netbook.html
Negroponte: "Kids in Ethiopia don't have the internet in a nearby cloud ..."

And just noticed that the sugar labs home page describes the xo as a netbook: http://www.sugarlabs.org/
