OLPC to Run Windows, Come to the US
An anonymous reader writes "'Yesterday Nicholas Negroponte, former director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab and current head of the nonprofit One Laptop Per Child project, gave analysts and journalists an update on the OLPC project. Two big changes were announced — the $100 OLPC is now the $175 OLPC, and it will be able to run Windows. Even in a market where there are alternatives to using Windows and Office, there's a huge demand for Microsoft software. The OLPC was seen as a way for open source Linux distributions to achieve massive exposure in developing countries, but now Negroponte says that the OLPC machine will be able to run Windows as well as Linux. Details are sketchy but Negroponte did confirm that the XO's developers have been working with Microsoft to get the OLPC up to spec for Windows.' We also find out that the OLPC gets a price hike and will officially come to the US. Could this be tied into Microsoft's new $3 Windows XP Starter and Office 2007 bundle? Now that the OLPC and Intel's Classmate PC can both run Windows, is Linux in the developing world in trouble?"
guess this would increase piracy for windows?
That's a tit, innit ? Whas a lovely tit like that doing next to a pile of vomit ?
Religion is what happens when nature strikes and groupthink goes wrong.
Took you folks 20 years to get to pre-emptive multitasking. Don't think you've really got much room to be calling everyone else "filthy."
Also, you've apparently not heard of Gran Paradiso, which is a rebuild of Firefox from the ground up to use native Cocoa interfaces, or Camino, for that matter.
You're losing, numbnuts. Time for all you and all your cutting friends to bail out of Apple and move on to Amiga.
ROTFLMAO! You're telling others to "get the fuck out", and You are a known liar!

Here are your lies again, for your reference and those of others here:
"YOU were the one who originally suggested I might be female, I just went along with it." - by StarKruzr (74642) on Monday April 23, @07:43PM (#18847517)
Another lie?
All you have done is lie here, yet again, and this all proves it (your own words saying you are a girl, and when caught, you changed it again, lol):
"I never said I was the girl in that picture either, you did." - by StarKruzr (74642) on Thursday March 29, @06:16PM (#18536049)
No one ever said you were a girl - YOU did, lol!
Here is the posting where you did:

"Hey, dipshit: how do you know I'm MALE? Maybe I SHOULD be acting like a woman because I AM one." - by StarKruzr (74642) on Monday March 26, @06:16PM (#18494155)
And, when caught in his lie, only then did he admit to it here:
"Okay, seriously. Let's drop the act. Okay? Yes? Let's quit pretending. I am quite male." - by StarKruzr (74642) on Monday April 02, @08:18PM (#18581257)
Give us a break.
