More information, although I'm not sure how credible: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/740ao/venezuela_orders_1_million_intel_classmates_this/ "The 30 GB hard drive is partitioned in 3 drives. 10GB Windows and 10GB for Caixa Mágica (Portuguese commercial Linux distro), and 10GB for the user profiles.
