USD for this ambitious program called ' Every Child a Computer '.

Some early versions of this $ 100 laptop were introduced at a technology conference held by the United Nations on November 14 in Tunisia.

Apple also wants to become a project sponsor, announcing that it will provide Mac OS X for free. Unfortunately, MIT has bluntly rejected Apple's " gentleness ".

Seymour Papert, a project executive, said that Apple's offer was rejected by MIT because Mac OS X is not an open source operating system. One of the criteria that project developers have confirmed from the beginning is that all applications running on this low-cost laptop must be completely designed with open source.
