I'd say that the plan is this :

1.- Get Windows working in OX-1, give the project money, help, no string attached. OLPC people
are intelligent won't fall M$ traps and a trap against them will get very very bad press. 

2.- Ok, OX-1 is been sent to the country X. Go there and make contacts move some money, make
some promises on cheap or free software, etc. Country X will deliver a Windows version of OX-1

3.- Repeat step 2 till new countries choose Windows by default. 

Intelligent, inmoral, Microsoft-like plan.
