OLPC developing dual-boot Windows, Linux OS for laptops | |
|

The One Laptop Per Child Project (OLPC) and Microsoft are working together to develop a dual-boot system to put both Linux and Windows on laptops aimed at kids in developing countries, the head of OLPC said in an interview Tuesday. "We are working with them very closely to make a dual-boot system so that, like on an Apple, you can boot either one up. The
version that's up and running of Windows on the XO is very fast, it's very, very successful. We're working very hard to do
both," said Nicholas Negroponte, chairman of OLPC.
It's a brand new development for the XO laptops, as the low-cost notebooks are known, and came about because of Microsoft's
friendlier attitude towards open source software. | ||

is OLPC an acronym in a non-English language? Cause "Dead Before Even Launching" doesn't seem to fit.
FWIW, hit a deal site and u can get a $350 EQUIPPED laptop right this minute. And the kid will have a decent screen to look at while computing. |
