I haven't met anyone "anti" OLPC, just some who've felt their plans to further computerize the curriculum were not on hold while we waited for such hardware to materialize. Mark Shuttleworth for example. The forward progress of that South African process was in no way contingent upon the success of failure (e.g. perpetual postponement) of the projected OLPC result (one laptop per child). For example, given TuxLabs, shared equipment, it's already possible to do Squeak-based robotics or whatever.
