There is no change in strategy. For background (and comment furor) on  
the XP situation, see:

This thread is already stretching propriety by taking place on the  
devel list, but I feel uncomfortable asking for it be moved to olpc- 
open since the kind of people who might have good responses to John's  
question are much more likely to be on this list than that one. That  
said, let's please keep Microsoft out of it and have replies be  
maximally focused.
