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.

http://www.engadget.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ displaced-by-xp-sugar-labs-goes-it-alone/…Filed under: Laptops While OLPC tries to wise up to the real demands of the market and build a cheap laptop that people actually want -- which means Windows XP for most -- Walter Bender, OLPC's former president of software and content for the project is taking his open source Linux-based Sugar OS and has started up a new non-profit to aid its development.

Nature or nuture: XO Laptops will now run Windows
http://www.crunchgear.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ nature-or-nuture-xo-laptops-will-now-ru…The XO Laptop (or the OLPC, whatever you want to call it) will now run Windows, giving children around the world the opportunity to dislike Microsoft as much as we do.

Somehow, surprisingly frustrating
http://kmandla.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ somehow-surprisingly-frustrating/It’s silly, I know. I predicted it myself only about a week ago.

Windows XP on the XO Laptop - Microsoft Buys Out OLPC
http://www.olpcnews.com/ software/ windows/ windows_xp_on_the_xo.htmlSo the long awaited moment has happened, Microsoft has bought One laptop Per Child with sweet promises to Nicholas Negroponte of more XO laptops sales.
