[Olpc-philippines] WinXP on XO-1 review

[James Shields]

Yes, Sugar is definitely a plus.  I think having a native-XP Sugar would be
great.  It would bring Sugar to more kids.

Also, having XP on the XO means that more programmers can write for it.
That, to me, is a huge plus.

Regarding the reviewer's claim that it's just another low-cost laptop ...
WRONG.  The XO is remarkably rugged.

If there is one thing clear on the article, it shows that having XP on
the XO require additional resources and probably a shift in the
methodology of teaching/sharing outside Sugar (well the XO itself is a
big shift for almost *all* institutions that have implemented it).

Be that as it may, I wouldn't mind at all if XP ran on it, but what I
really want to see is have Sugar on top regardless of OS running
underneath.
