There's been some talk about building for multiple platforms: Aside from the XO-1 hardware, various other builds with advocates include Linux builds: Ubuntu (widely used for Actitivies development), Fedora 7 jh-build variant (widely used for OS and systems development), Gentoo, Cebian, and other Linuv variants, advocated by adherents to those operating systems. and also virtualization builds: VMware - which has free (gratis) server software for a variety of platforms. VMware players have had commercial success and the players tend to be stable. Q/Emu - An open source emulator. Used a lot. I suppose XEN could be added to the list.
There is a debate going on about the build and release cycle: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/2008_Debate_of_Build_and_Release#Multiple_Targets.2FTimely_Builds It's currently bogged down in the minimum buy-in for time based releases (years in the release name).
