XP is coming to the XO
Microsoft's participation in the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative has been fraught with mystery and disinformation from the get-go. But on May 15, Microsoft officials finally gave the OLPC project Redmond's official blessing.
Up to this point, OLPC Chief Nicholas Negroponte preannounced Microsoft's every move on the OLPC front. But on May 15, Microsoft and the OLPC announced in tandem that Microsoft is"joining" the OLPC project.
Yet again, exactly what this means is a bit murky. Microsoft has been testing for months now whether it could get XP to run on OLPC XO laptops. Seemingly, according to a new blog entry by James Utzschneider, Manager of Microsoft's General Manager, Marketing and Communications, Unlimited Potential Group, the tests were successful. But now it sounds like there are going to be more tests.
