Will there be an olpc emulator for windows?

Now that would be good. A software package to run on a Windows PC to support a wider community of developers of software and content, which software and content is for use on the laptop.

OLPC will support open standards, which tend to be supported under Windows as well, so some level of cross-platform interchange will be available out of the box. We also expect that much of the interation will be initiated through the browser and server, another shared piece of infrastructure. I assume that the application framework will also be ported at some point, but it is not a current priority. Walter 16:25, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
It is possible to run Linux on Windows. http://www.colinux.org/ is an example of that.--80.109.11.235 16:36, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
