The BBC article is talking about two different projects: Microsofts own $3 software bundle which seems to be an attempt to stave off the advances of Linux in second- and third-world countries seeking inexpensive ways to update and create technology infrastructure, and the OLPC project which aims to bring technology training to children in primarily third-world countries. Two very different projects with slightly different aims and very different goals.
