Thank for these info.

can't we suppose that now Microsoft will invest more effort and energy
to have Windows run very correctly on OLPC then, when the government
have decided to invest in OLPC insist that they get the OLPC on
windows instead as the model on Linux (I understand that anyway the
interface will be the same, aka sugar ?)

Thanks
