Laptop Mag's XP OLPC Experience is Not Mine<< Nokia E 71 - First Look | Main | Typing one handed is not fun >> Michael Gartenberg | August 06, 2008, 05:27 PM Cant' speak to the exclusive nature of Laptop Mag's running an OLPC running XP as I've been running one here for several weeks. I am finding a totally different experience with performance and load times much different and much better than the Laptops folks are getting. I checked with MSFT and it seems there's came from the OLPC folks directly (mine came from MSFT) and our builds it seems are different. Overall, I think the hardware itself is just lacking (my first unit developed keyboard problems after a few days and needed to be swapped out) and the overall performance is hardly going to meet the needs of the uber user. It is much better than the stock OLPC OS IMHO and I imagine much more useful as well. I have had a few students use the machine and my next phase of testing will be to give it to an elementary student to use for a bit when school starts. Will keep you posted here. |
