A primary reason was the charity aspect. This laptop was for my kids, so I liked that the whole thing was designed for kids. I knew if I got a laptop running Windows they would expect to do everything on it that they can on my laptop (iTunes, Word, Excel), and there would be disappointments and many IT hassles. Bringing in the XO has completely changed those dynamics. The XO is rugged, looks more kidlike, and has pushed all of us to think a little outside our normal approach to computers. @Dion: There were several things that drew me to the XO.

Just the charity aspect? What made you go for that instead of a Asus EE PC for about the same price (but with Windows/Linux).
