Tweaked Windows XP for the OLPC XO computer
The Channel Register has a report that Microsoft has released a tweaked version of Windows XP to run on the One Laptop Per Child XO computer:
“Microsoft internally ‘RTM’ed’ the Windows XP version we are building for the OLPC XO computer. Windows on the XO looks like it is on track for availability in these types of national educational PC deals in September,” he said.
“We still have no plans to make Windows available for individuals who bought an XO in the Give 1 Get 1 program though.”
In May Redmond and the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) foundation confirmed the XO laptop would be made available as Windows-loaded machines. That was Microsoft’s first public acknowledgement that the firm was working on a port of XP for the distinctive white and green machine.”
