AFAIK, the last efforts to get Windows running on XO hardware were in
2008: Windows XP on the OLPC XO-1.0. I don't know that it was ever
pursued for the XO 1.5 since there was no significant demand. The new
generation of OLPC hardware is all ARM based, which pretty much
eliminates the possibility of Windows unless one were to look into
porting Windows 8. I don't think anyone has done that.
