$100 laptop’ embraces Windows XP

Microsoft has joined forces with the developers of the “$100 laptop” to make Windows available on the machines.

The move was prompted by countries which demanded the operating system before placing an order.

Trials of laptops loaded with Windows will begin in “four to five” countries from June, the organisations said.

The founder of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), which developed the machines, denied the move was a “desperate new measure” to secure more orders.
