Hi Steve,

Thanks for passing this on - I don't see a link, however.

There's an entry linked from the OLPC wiki site about the Microsoft team 
who is working on getting Windows running on the XO-1 at 
http://radian.org/notebook/paradox-of-choice. The article notes that the 
OLPC foundation is neither supporting nor preventing Microsoft in this 
effort and talks about some of the tension it's caused.

Thanks for everyone's patience with the live demo last night,

A.C.
