So for starting is very good XP in OLPC, maybe in the future they can choose.

Looks kinda old, at least the text is centered. On Linux it would be arranged top left and it would be a black screen, which we all know consumes more energy :-) JK that’s win9x, not 2000, XP or Vista.

Surely we should be considering horses for courses. What will work best with this computer. Yes, Microsoft is bloated and fat, that's why Vista is a non starter on OLPC. Remember, the more bloated the Operating System the less room there is for any Applications software. And, what do you use on a computer? Not Windows, Mac nor Linux, they just support the real work horses, the word processors, spread sheets, CAD, ect. For information, I used to use Xp on my desktop but changed to openSuSE when my copy of Xp, (bought legitimately), failed to authenticate on a rebuild and, I'm not going to give Bil Gates more money to get software I already own to work again! (Evidently, you never own your Microsoft software, you just get a license to use it.) Oh dear, this is the first time I’ve come across this site and boy, aren’t we a touchy lot.
