Nothing like buying/pirating that "nice Windows that everyone likes" and finding it will run slow and have to handle viruses and all that other stuff.
Which brings into question, who will provide virus/spyware protection for these systems? If Microsoft is able to trim XP down enough to run on these systems I'm sure that they won't add virus protection into them and I am sure there is still a some security issues with XP that have yet to be addressed. Seems like an entirely new market for bot nets to explore and dominate, who is going to fix the OLPC XP systems once they have been infected with the latest Storm Worm bot or any other bot.
