- Extra flash memory

It would require extra flash memory - over and above the extra flash required to support XP's larger footprint - in order to support the even larger footprint of having dual-boot capability for XP and Linux. Remember - two versions of everything - OS, Sugar (the user interface - not Sugar Linux as Dana said), and productivity applications.
Will Microsoft also include software development tools in that $3 license fee? Or the productivity apps? How about a web server? Database engine?
Hmm, sounds to me like the XP XO will be a lot less capable out of the box than the Linux one... - Posted by: NetArch. Posted on: 05/16/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use

They should double the RAM as well, and that would be good for XP and Linux

Well, if we can get the volumes up, it will resuscitate the project.

The problem is not to have both on the XO

The OLPC was not designed for Windows.
