Microsoft doesn’t want Linux playing the role of OLPC alone. Seeing its big market, they decided to get involved with the program. And as reported by arstechnica.com, their tailored Windows XP operating system will be deployed in the next pilot project starting in June.
The decision to adopt Windows has been the source of bitter controversy within the OLPC project. The software and hardware of the XO were designed together and the laptop offers many unique features that were previously only supported by the Linux-based software stack. Microsoft says that it has spent over a year customizing Windows to make it run on the XO and that it can support a wide range of the laptop’s capabilities, including the dual-mode screen, camera, writing pad, and WiFi.
