OLPC XO Boots Both Sugar and Windows XP

First Footage: Same OLPC XO Boots Both Sugar and Windows XP

I guess I never thought I would see this happening. There are some interesting comments about the XO and how long it takes for Windows to boot. I did put XP SP2 on my eee pc for the time being and with the help a nice N-lite tutorial. The load time on my machine is roughly 45 secs, but that is with 512mb RAM.

I think the XO is going through a weird growth and development at this point. Does running XP on a 2GB machine with only 256 ram seem worth it other than to say that XP can run on a machine that small? Are really that many more people (countries / Dept of Education) going to buy the green machines?
