"OLPC is in talks with Microsoft to develop a version of a full
Windows OS for XO-2, Negroponte said. The XO-2 is still 18 months

"Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for

"Designed for use by children in developing countries, the XO
laptop has been praised for its innovative hardware features and
environmentally friendly design. In the same vein, XO-2 is also
being engineered with hardware and software features that OLPC
hopes will appeal to kids in primary schools."
