The first bookmark I’ve saved into my Del.icio.us account with the new Internet Exporer addon has been another Microsoft related matter.

 The New York Times, 16 May, announces Microsoft joins effort for laptops for children.  Finally it seems that Bill Gates and Nicholas Negroponte have reached and agreement and:

“The first of the project’s child-friendly XO laptops running Windows XP will be tested next month in limited trials in four or five countries. Mr. Utzschneider declined to identify the countries, but he said XO laptops running Windows would be generally available by September.”

Pity that it’s taken the success of the project to bring Microsoft onboard, however, it will be good for the project. In my opinion.
