    OLPC project clarifies: no plans for Windows support

    Basically you buy one of their $175 laptops and the only thing you'll be running is linux
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    Microsoft has said that the company will develop for the XO laptop, but when asked if OLPC was aware of any tests of either XP Starter Edition or Vista Starter Edition on the XO, Bender said that he was not.

    How are Microsoft gonna make Vista run on the Xo Laptop
    That would take them atleast 6 months to do:P
    The only realistic os Microsoft could release for this machine is Windows Ce.
