- XP meets XO: Will Linux get an equal shot?
- Updated: The One Laptop Per Child program will put XP on its XO laptop and children in the developing world will have a choice between Windows and Linux. On the surface, a little choice isn't going to kill anybody. In fact, choice is good. And if some...

- 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. It was pure hypocrasy for Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates to publicly decry the so-called “Digital Divide†while privately refusing to support the XO simply because Linux was a supported operating system. ...

- Is Stallman right about OLPC?
- Richard Stallman president of the Free Software Foundation has been something of a firebrand in the IT community. Even open source advocates don't always agree with his hardline stances. However, one has to wonder if his latest take on the OLPC project and its possible move to a...

- 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?" ...

- Once again, competition breeds innovation
- No sooner had the electronic "ink" dried on Chris Dawson's piece OLPC and Intel part ways that Intel confirmed that the Classmate lives on with a next generation already in the works! Well surprise, surprise! Ever since the Intel Classmate was announced see A quick update on the Classmate it was clearly superior...

- 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. However, all have merits and detriments, compromises, and baggage. The XO struggles with performance, stability, and distribution models. ...

- 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...

- XP on OLPC: Microsoft's gambit to stay in the emerging market conversation
- 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.

- XO laptop sales begin, but support plan is nonexistent
- Distributing laptops to kids around the world was supposed to be a government initiative. But Nicholas Negroponte has largely failed to sign up any foreign governments to purchase millions of One Laptop Per Child’s XO laptops. Today the effort moved to the world of consumer sales...
