- The XO-2 laptop looks great, but can OLPC deliver in 2010?

- WinXP on XO laptops OK as long as Linux runs, too
- Microsoft's agreement to offer Windows XP on OLPC's XO laptop is appropriate and long overdue.

- Post script to an Ed Tech laptop rant
- Rant away Chris! There is one, and only one, reason why Nicholas Negroponte has somewhat suddenly embraced Windows and Microsoft. It is really quite simple. He is being asked by foreign governments -- to whom he is trying to sell the XO -- "Does the XO run Windows?" ...

- What would my ideal education ultraportable look like?
- The OLPC XO, Intel Classmate, and Asus Eee all bring important features to the table and put 1:1 computing models within reach of many more districts than ever before.

- Lessons learned: Two weeks with the XO laptop
- Repeat after me. The XO laptop from the One Laptop Per Child project is designed for kids. Why bore yourself with that mantra? If you don't you may find yourself griping about something that wasn't designed for you in the first place. That's one of the big takeaways from...

- My (daughter's) OLPC laptop has arrived
- My--actually my daughter's--XO laptop from the One Laptop Per Child Project has arrived and a few things were striking: Its size built for kids, the software interface, which is very intuitive, and the realization that this tool is designed for children--not adults. In other words, dad needs to step aside...

- Will Windows 'XO' bear fruit for OLPC?

- Windows XP may come to the One Laptop Per Child project as Microsoft ports its operating system to flash-based devices such as Intel's Classmate PC, ASUS Eee PC and the XO laptop.
