OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte revelaed this week that the $100 laptop will actually run about $175 — and that it might be able to run Windows, not just customized version Linux.
Negroponte says developers have been working with Microsoft to ensure that the machines could also run Windows, possibly the $3 version of Windows XP that Microsoft recently announced it would sell to governments of developing nations.
Negroponte says the $100 figure was always a long term goal, and he hopes to reduce the price by $25 per year once production begins.
