Yes i agree, the OLPC with XP on it will be so slow. plus it is going to be
a stripped down version of XP home. So not even XP Pro, which i felt would
have been a more logical choice. Same thing happened with the ASUS EeePC.
Now they are coming with XP home and linux. We have a linux one in the
office that we are testing and i don't see how you can run XP on them
without a lot of waiting and waiting and waiting.

I thought the whole point of this project was the mesh networking and
social networking tools? Now it is just another virus bomb. Give it 2 years
and bye bye.

See video of Unlimited Potential's Bohdan Raciborski showing off Windows

Will the XO laptop ever be a dual boot machine or did Nicholas
Negroponte just waste two years of Open Source community's efforts?
