The first laptop I got was an Asus Eee PC with Windows XP in early 2008. I remember at least once I have been questioned if that was "the 100-dollar computer" while I was using it in a mall with free wi-fi. Not sure if the guy who asked me about the laptop thought that I was some sort of computer geek, but IIRC the OLPC wasn't commercially available in my country by then.
Well, sure the original development of the OLPC followed an approach not so likely to attract the average customers, and most if not all of its hardware became seriously outdated by now, but the purpose was remarkable.
