Negroponte: Windows key to OLPC philosophy | |

| Time: 13:41 EST/18:41 GMT | News Source: ZDNet Australia | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

While the news that Microsoft is developing a version of Windows for the so-called "$100 laptop" has caused some consternation, One Laptop Per Child Chairman Nicholas Negroponte has said the project could not promote openness if it blocked Windows. The OLPC's philosophy of openness is behind its decision to allow Microsoft software on the machines, according to Negroponte. "It would be hard for OLPC to say it was 'open' and then be closed to Microsoft. Open means open," Negroponte said. According to Negroponte, the XP announcement is the latest development in a long-running collaboration between the project and Microsoft. | ||
