這是CBS訪問Negroponte時的報導,原文如下:
At a recent lecture at MIT he accused Intel of dumping, of going to the same governments he’s trying to sell to and offering the Classmate below cost.
"Intel should be ashamed of itself," Negroponte says. "It’s just – it’s just shameless."
"Negroponte believes that you’re trying to drive him out," Stahl told Craig Barrett, Intel’s Chairman of the Board.
"We’re not trying to drive him out of business. We’re trying to bring capability to young people," Barrett responds. "And it’s more than just Intel. It’s going to take the whole industry to do this."
總之,這有點觀念上的差別,Intel面對使用AMD的OLPC,視同商業上的對手,而且看到第三世界國家的兒童市場竟是如此龐大,因此耍一些商業手段,Intel會覺得這是很普通的商業行為,不足為奇。至於Intel總裁親自拜訪各國政府推銷Classmate PC,當然馬上就槓上了Negroponte,最後就靠OLPC本身怎麼建立公信力與先進的品質了。
