As if it should come as a surprise, Microsoft is apparently interested in putting one of their Operating Systems on the OLPC (aka One Laptop Per Child) computers.  At the NetEvents conference in Hong Kong this past weekend, Nicholas Negroponte, chairman of OLPC, said:

I have known [Microsoft chairman] Bill Gates his entire adult life. We talk, we meet one-on-one, we discuss this project.

Well, duh. Of course Microsoft and Bill Gates are going to want to get in front of a computer using audience as early as they can.  As much as I hate it, why the heck not. Maybe this will finally put an end to that stupid fruit company’s users battle agains the Microsoft tyranny.  Let’s all just become robots shall we?
