The One Laptop Per (OLPC) project is working with Microsoft to develop a dual-boot system to put both Linux and Windows on XO laptops aimed at the third world, says the IDG News Service.
"We are working with them very closely to make a dual-boot system so that, like on an Apple, you can boot either one up. The version that's up and running of Windows on the XO is very fast, it's very, very successful. We're working very hard to do both," said Nicholas Negroponte, chairman of OLPC.

Negroponte has been talking to journalists at CES, where the OLPC's laptop was showcased as an innovative product. The Guardian's John Domokos did a video in Las Vegas, where Negroponte responds to The Economist article, among other things.
