    Apro+im points out a NYTimes report which states that Microsoft and the OLPC project have officially agreed to put Windows XP on the XO laptop. While Microsoft has been working toward this for some time, analysts began to think a deal was more likely after Walter Bender resigned from the project and was replaced by Charles Kane.

    Year of the XO, part 1

    I imagine I will write more along these lines as the school year ends, hence the post title. I simply must, because of the impact these little green and white laptops have had in my classroom, and my life. When the school year started last September, nothing was further from my mind.

    XO Windows XP trials to start in June The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation has been pushing its XO notebooks in developing nations for a while now at a price of $188 per notebook. The XO has had some stiff competition in the market from competitors like the Classmate from Intel.

    A Contrarian View of Windows XP on OLPC XO Laptop

    http://www.olpcnews.com/ software/ windows/ contrarian_view_of_windows_xo.html

    There's a lot of discussion about whether OLPC is an education project, or a laptop project. Many folks here think that recent developments show that the balance is tipped to the latter rather than the former. It's neither. It's a sales project. If people don't buy them, it doesn't matter how pure our hearts are.

    One Laptop Per Child fails in its mission

    One Laptop Per Child fails in its mission This last Christmas, my daughter's grandpa purchased an XO for her. Operating in a Linux-based, open source environment has been confusing for me. I am an admitted Microsoft lemming. Bill Gates owns my object-oriented soul.

    OLPC XO officially gets Windows XP, children of the world to be assimilated

    http://www.journalhome.com/ internet/ 59215/ olpc-xo-officially-gets-windows-xp-…

    Filed under: Laptops It's been a controversial decision, but it looks like the OLPC XO has completed its transition from revolutionary education project to just another tiny Windows laptop with a useless keyboard -- albeit one with a pleasantly whimsical design.

    OLCP XO laptop will officially have Windows XP

    http://www.slipperybrick.com/ 2008/ 05/ olpc-xo-laptop-windows-xp/

    After much speculation and concern Microsoft has put out official word that the OLPC XO laptop will be made available with the Windows XP operation system. Nicholas Negroponte has been trying to work with Bill Gates and Microsoft for years to get the Windows OS for the laptop, but Microsoft had been reluctant due to the rival Linux OS running on the machine.
