Windows

Comment to the question concerning the lately announced "strategy change": Microsoft (win XP) instead of Linux!?

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.
