There will be Windows for cheap laptops

Will Poole - Microsoft's vice president of business - said the company is now promoting Windows applications into the cheap XO laptop product of the One Laptop Per Child Project (OLPC). The project currently chooses to use the Linux operating system.

Microsoft is currently developing a better Windows XP-based basic version with XO laptop products. 'We have invested a lot in developing this product. But it may take several more months to get results, "said Poole.

There will be Windows for cheap laptops Picture 1 OLPC will launch a production line of low-cost laptop products - priced at $ 188 - in China next month. The product will be delivered to elementary school children in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In order to seek funding for the project, it is expected to sell products to the US and Canada markets for $ 400.

XO is a product designed specifically to run Linux. But if so, Microsoft will lose the opportunity to reach millions of children worldwide. That's what Microsoft certainly doesn't want to happen. Perhaps children will get used to Linux rather than Windows.

OLPC will start accepting XO product orders from November 12.
