The OLPC has captured the hearts and imaginations of us for some time and fueled the original cheap mini-notebook dream. The original dream of a $200 laptop for children quickly caught fire and Nicholas Negroponte has seen the OLPC program grow and grow. Our buddy Om Malik is attending the Fortune conference this week and got to spend time with Negroponte who brought an OLPC running Windows XP. One of the ways the OLPC can be produced so cheaply is by using Linux for the OS and it’s cool to see one running Windows XP. Thanks Om!
