OLPC and Windows

"So we need help changing people's perceptions. Every time I go out to talk about OLPC, inevitably I hear that people aren't interested in OLPC anymore because they are "Microsoft's stooge." And why is that? Because every time Microsoft farts in the general direction of OLPC, somebody prints a headline like "Microsoft cloud hovers over the OLPC project" that gets read by, oh, a bazillion people. And then we get another rousing chorus of the "OLPC sold out to Microsoft" song."
