In 1990s IBM released a Windows NT competitor called OS/2 that can run MS-DOS, 
Windows 3.1 and Windows NT applications (using special method). Now Serenity 
Systems had bought OS/2 from IBM and market it as Ecomstation.

If Ecomstation can support XO laptops BIOS and still run MS-DOS, OS/2 and 
Windows 3.1/Windows NT program, IMO this new version of Ecomstation can be 
bundled with Commercial version of XO laptops sold to developing countries (US, 
Europe, Japan, Middle East).

Perhaps the developing countries version of XO come with bigger keyboards, LCD 
screens, but use the same motherboards and chipsets as the developed country 
version.

Is the above idea possible?
Thank you.
