Only $3 difference?
In some of the countries this "laptop" will be distributed, $3 is a lot of money.bucket
Mathematical educational software is clearly available to Linux OS, be it dynamic geometry or algebric environments. As for physics and chemistry, I'm not sure.The real loss is that cool reprogrammable Python-based GUI. People don't realize that programming is maybe much more educational than any other discipline, as it teaches logic and resource management.
Anyway, I really hope that Microsoft will bundle VB6.0 at least to make up for the loss.
Why?
Why scrap linux in favour of XP when its free and well supported by an international community that has been actively considering the needs of those for which this kind of computing solution is intended for a couple of years? This seems like a step backwards.Add a new comment:
