Hardware, Embedded Systems The road to the One Laptop Per Child has been riddled with humps and bumps, such as hardware issues, the failure of the 'G1G1' scheme, and the inability to reach the USD 100 price mark, culminating in the resignation of the project's president yesterday. Now, Negroponte, the project's founder and chairman, has stated something that might alienate the project's strongest supporters even further: the OLPC might evolve into using Windows XP only.

I replaced Xandros on my Eee 701 with XP after a full day of trying to get 802.1x peap/mschap v2 working for wifi access.

They could have sent it to me blank and I would not have had an issue with it. I gave it a shot. I prefer XP over Linux on the desktop, though.

To each their own.
