"For about a year, however, Microsoft has been working to get a 
slimmed-down version of Windows to run on XO laptops. As a result, 
Negroponte said Tuesday that he expects XOs to soon have a "dual-boot" 
option, meaning users would be able to run Windows or Sugar.

One current hang-up is whether the necessary hardware would add $7 to 
$12 to an XO's cost, taking the project even further away from its 
eventual goal of producing the machines for less than $100. Eventually, 
Negroponte added, Windows might be the sole operating system, and Sugar 
would be educational software running on top of it."
