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.

Come on, is it so hard to notice that there's no link provided with that alleged declaration? Why do you take such an outrageous claim for granted without checking around first? Try a real news site, one that checks facts before posting:

"OLPC is not dropping Linux in favor of Windows. OLPC will continue to support Linux but is also working with Microsoft on a Windows version," an OLPC spokesperson told Ars. "This is not new news. It's been out there for more than a year."
It's just the old FUD machine at work.

OLPC running XP seems like a bad joke to me.
