Microsoft wants to make its Windows operating system available on the One Laptop per Child notebook computers, OLPC chairman Nicholas Negroponte said at the NetEvents conference in Hong Kong on Saturday. "I have known Bill Gates his entire adult life. We talk, we meet one-on-one, we discuss this project," said Negroponte, vnunet.com can reveal. "We put in an SD slot in the machine just for Bill. We didn't need it but the OLPC machines are at Microsoft right now, getting Windows put on them."

The article isn't too informative. They only state that they are making windows run on it. No word on why they do it, if it will be the default and such things.
And I thought Gates offered Windows before, but was rejected due to openness and hardware requirements? Any details on the mindchange?
