However, Negroponte disclosed that XO's developers have been working with Microsoft Corp. so a version of Windows can run on the machines as well. It could be the $3 software package that Microsoft announced last week for governments that subsidize student computers. It includes
Windows XP Starter Edition and some of Microsoft's "productivity" software.

Word of Microsoft's involvement was somewhat striking given that the software company and its closest corporate partner, Intel Corp., have questioned whether the One Laptop Per Child's computers will do much to stimulate educational gains.
Bill Gates once denigrated the machine as not being a "decent computer." And Intel is pushing its own inexpensive computer for developing countries, the $400 Classmate PC.

The ever-optimistic Negroponte turned those criticisms around on Thursday, arguing that Microsoft wouldn't have bothered with its $3 international software package and Intel wouldn't be pushing Classmate unless they had something to fear from One Laptop Per Child's innovations

Plus tard il y aura l'anti-virus bridé à 0.5 USD par mois, et la mise à jour de l'OS 1,5 USD auquel il faudra ajouter la nécessaire mise à jour matérielle, 33 USD.

Le prix du téléchargement sur Zune Marketplace restera le même. Faut quand même pas que ces salauds de pauvres en profitent plus que les autres !

Une question: même à 3 dollars , quel est l'intéret de pouvoir installer un Windows ??

Pourquoi ne pas être resté uniquement sur un Linux ou autre SE Open-source ????
