OLPC XO to ship with Windows
Posted on May 16, 08 04:30 AM PDT
Microsoft has allowed its Windows XP operating system to ship as an option in the $100 OLPC XO laptop, and this will happen sometime in August or September. Perhaps Windows XP might even replace the current Sugar front-end that is available in all XOs, although OLPC has not released a statement to support or counter that theory. Windows XP won't come on a CD as it normally does, but will instead ship on a dirt cheap 2GB SD memory card, providing users with approximately 1.5GB of free space for document storage and media. The XO, despite running on Windows XP, will be dual-bootable between Windows and Linux.
