The One Laptop Per Child initiative - the program to build laptops that cost $100 for children in developing countries - has had its share of fits and starts. OLPC has also sparked a number of spin-off companies, including Sugar Laboratories, a nonprofit that was started by Walter Bender.
According to CNET, Bender is reportedly in discussions to get its Linux operating system on low-cost laptops made by four manufacturers. Bender is having discussions with Pixel Qi and is interesting in pursuing a relationship with Intel or Asus.
