,----[ Quote
| According to Walter Bender, president of Software and Content at OLPC,

| Microsoft has not contacted OLPC regarding its $3 software bundling
| program, nor have any governments requested that the XO be outfitted
| with Windows. In short, there is no existing collaboration between
| Microsoft and OLPC aimed at outfitting the XO laptop with Windows.
