Gates foundation has already some delivery programs on medicines. Nicholas has to get some pilot programs to go where the medicine goes, with XO education system as well as keeper of medical records for children as well as their family history?

Next is getting auto-update on XP and compatible with Microsoft server 2008(license mesh QAM transmission channel standards).

XO OLPC must have USB plugged in DSP(with flash memory) as coprocessor to handle mesh transmission carrier frequencies with QAM subchannels, as well as musical instruments(sounds) and EG&G(dynamic action stopping) electronic flash for camera.

Good Luck.

We are stockholders of MSFT. Opinions here maybe biased.

The coverage of this development centers on the change of OS, and the $30 incremental cost due to Windows licensing and hardware requirements. But what about the rest of the software on the OLPC? Will it continue to be free/open-source stuff, or will things like MS Works be deployed instead?

Microsoft will give OLPC the world of network, autoupdate, local languages and contacts(social at MSN and office live collaboration). The Linux part will give students the applications available for reading, writing and Arithmetic. Plus arts and crafts as well as sports(social skills). Some think upper class students might think instead of new math, scripts(perl, python, and php) in programming skills. That may still be too soon to tell. Medical records will bring big city doctors to small villages by camera video correspondence.

It will be a more rounded education in one simple computer laptop.
