Yes, and due to Microsoft’s requirements it could only boot from a very 
specific make and model (and perhaps even production batch) of SD card.  AFAIK, 
the XO is still the only computer that could (legitimately) boot Windows XP 
from removable media.  Please don’t spend any time on this - it’s just not 
available.  You can search the list archive for previous fruitless efforts:-)
