OLPC Project Working on Windows and Linux Dual-boot System (TMCnet)

TMCnet covers comments by Nicholas Negroponte about dual-booting the OLPC. "Negroponte told IDG News Service that OLPC working with Microsoft very closely to make a dual-boot system so that, like on an Apple, you can boot either one up. “The version that’s up and running of Windows on the XO is very fast, it's very, very successful,” Negroponte said. “We're working very hard to do both.” He pointed out that this is a brand-new development for the XO laptops, as the low-cost notebooks are known, and came about because of Microsoft’s friendlier attitude toward open source software."
