In some media resources, e.g. at the website of the official austrian media station ORF (http://futurezone.orf.at/produkte/stories/155581/), it was announced that OLCP is performing a strategie change and that a version of Microsoft Windows will be the offical standard software system that runs on the olcp laptops. This is not true, as it is already described at the [[OLPC myths]] page. The OLPC is continuing to develop a Linux-based software set for the laptop in conjunction with RedHat. |

Comment to the question concerning the lately announced "strategy change": Microsoft (win XP) instead of Linux!? |
|||
Some additional information about the OLCP Windows version might follow here. |

If you did that, you would betray the whole free and open source software community and, even worse, your whole project and educational goals. |

:There is no strategy change. The OLPC is continuing to develop a Linux-based software set for the laptop in conjunction with RedHat. But since the OLPC project is '''OPEN''' we cannot stop other people from developing and supplying alternate software packages. |

:P.S. This page needs some serious editing. The misunderstanding about Windows needs to go on the myths page and this page should have an overview of Windows on the OLPC that includes only factual information. To cover the misunderstandings this page should have pointers to the myths page and/or faq page. |

In some media resources, e.g. at the website of the official austrian media station ORF (http://futurezone.orf.at/produkte/stories/155581/), it was announced that OLCP is performing a strategie change and that a version of Microsoft Windows will be the offical standard software system that runs on the olcp laptops. This is not true, as it is already described at the OLPC myths page. The OLPC is continuing to develop a Linux-based software set for the laptop in conjunction with RedHat.
Some additional information about the OLCP Windows version might follow here.
