SubComdTaco writes "According to an article over at Beta.news Microsoft is not working on a dual booting OLPC, just an OLPC running XP.
From the article:
"When asked by BetaNews to elaborate on reports of a dual-boot laptop which appeared in several other publications this week, a Microsoft spokesperson acknowledged that the company has looked into that possibility, but added that Microsoft has decided not to go ahead with a dual-boot version of the OX laptop,"
"Microsoft also sent BetaNews the following written statement late yesterday:
While we have investigated the possibility in the past, Microsoft is not developing dual-boot Windows XP support for the One Laptop Per Child's XO laptop. As we announced in December, Microsoft plans to publish formal design guidelines early this year that will assist flash-based device manufacturers in designing machines that enable a high-quality Windows experience. Our current goal remains to provide a high-quality Windows experience on the XO device. In addition, there will be limited field trials in January 2008 of Windows XP for One Laptop Per Child's XO Laptop.""
