Wow! Not sure I really believe this…

Chip-maker Intel has joined forces with the makers of the $100 laptop.

The agreement marks a huge turnaround for both the not-for-profit One Laptop per Child (OLPC) foundation and Intel.

In May this year, Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of OLPC, said the silicon giant “should be ashamed of itself” for efforts to undermine his initiative.

He accused Intel of selling its own cut-price laptop – the Classmate PC – below cost to drive him out of markets in the developing world…

My hunch is that the negative PR that resulted from Craig Barrett’s aggression proved too much for the Intel Board. Wonder who brokered the peace deal?
