Now, I haven’t actually used Windows on XO for more than a few seconds. There are something like three at the OLPC offices AFAIK. But with the announcement of a viable form of XP on the XO the blogosphere has had a field day. CNET has finally posted a reasonable, if non-technical, side by side comparison of the two versions of the machine. The results in the actual article are fairly ambiguous, but blogs, both secular and FOSS have decried that <a href="http://dailystuffreport.blogspot.com/2008/10/olpc-xo-laptops-move-to-windows-not-so.html">kids</a> <a href="http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/OLPC-windows-linux-XO,news-29500.html">prefer</a> <a href="http://allfreedot.net/?p=2692">Sugar</a> <a href="http://www.expat.ru/forum/tech-news/111378-confirmed-kids-like-sugar-better-than-xp.html">over</a> <a href="http://fulgore.net/14056/confirmed-kids-like-sugar-better-than-xp.html">XP</a>.</p>
<p>But more surprisingly, the great majority of blogs about the <a href="http://www.ebuho.com/blog/2008/10/25/olpc-windows-o-linux-sugar/">subject</a> <a href="http://elite-mexicana.blogspot.com/2008/10/los-nios-prefieren-el-olpc-con-linux-no.html">have</a> <a href="http://sibu.homelinux.org/index.php/archives/274">been</a> <a href="http://www.fayerwayer.com/2008/10/%C2%BFninos-prefieren-sugar-a-windows-xp/">in</a> <a href="http://leprosys.blogspot.com/2008/10/los-nios-prefieren-el-olpc-con-linux-no.html">Espanol</a>.</p>

<p>It’s Mel and Nicole’s OLPC group at OLIN throwing a HackingJam. It’s going to be a pretty cool event IMO. I would of course, love to go. But that’s not going to happen since it’s across the country. Maybe this summer?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The OLPC Support Gang gets tons of abuse. We’re the people who answer all of the emails that come into help@laptop. We’re all unpaid, and just want to help people. When we can’t solve a person’s problem, or if the XO doesn’t go to all of their Flash websites, or isn’t able to do everything that a $2000 Dell can, we get flak for it.</p>
<p>There are tons of examples of angry customers (which I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t can’t post). But I think that this message to a customer from one of the Support Gang is exactly what G1G1 recipients should understand, something they never understood, or decided to ignore:</p>
<blockquote><p>Always remember rule number one of the XO. You are not the customer. The<br />
XO is great fun, and stretching it’s capabilities towards our first<a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/seth/files/2008/02/640px-ulaanbaatar.jpg" title="Direct link to file"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://wiki.laptop.org/images/thumb/4/4d/P1020317-1.JPG/640px-P1020317-1.JPG" alt="Kids in UlaanBaatar" align="right" border="2" height="147" hspace="3" vspace="3" width="195" /></a><br />
world tasks can be entertaining (believe me, I’ve gone further than<br />
most), but when it comes down to it, it just won’t be happy trying to do<br />
a lot of things that you’d think that it should be able to do with no<br />
problems. If in the end, you are disappointed that it can’t do this,<br />
that, or the other thing that a more ‘normal’ box can, remember, it does<br />
a lot of things for its real audience that nothing else can. And that’s<br />
what it’s about.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Disclosure: I don’t answer tickets nearly as much as 95% of the group. When I say We, I’m not nearly as cool as some.</strong></p>
