Does ARM Chip for OLPC 3.0 mean no Windows?
,----[ Quote ]
| The OLPC organization experienced huge rifts
| over the use of Windows in its devices and
| Nicholas Negroponte caused Microsoft a fair
| amount of grief over premature announcements of
| Windows ports for its Sugar OS and the OLPC XO
| 1.0. Microsoft, however, has been fairly clear
| (with a little bit of waffle-room) that they
| wonât be porting Windows to ARM processors,
| meaning that XO 3.0, if it ever materializes,
| will need to be exclusively Linux-based.

The $75 Future Computer
,----[ Quote ]
| Behar says he hopes to shrink the frame around
| the XO-3's display down to practically nothing,
| opting for a virtual keyboard instead of a
| physical one, and no buttons. The result, in
| his mock-ups, is a screen surrounded by only a
| thin green rubber gasket. "Nicholas
| [Negroponte] asked for something extremely
| simple and practically frameless," he says.
| "The media or content on the computer will be
| the prime visual element."
