Really inexpensive computers

Here is a summary of some of projects underway to develop very inexpensive computers. The motivation for these companies varies – from providing technology in under-developed companies to challenging existing computer powers. Ignore the anti-Microsoft, etc. tone of this piece. I am adding this post as a source of information about new hardware alternatives and not to take an anti- “evil empire” position. It is true that Microsoft and other companies with proprietary operating systems increase the cost of computers and the proportion the operating system would add on very inexpensive systems would be substantial. Must be some way to achieve a middle ground here.
