Toby,

I would have thought you would have read this:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/16/olpc_windows_xo_laptop/
and this
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/16/krstic_olpc/
and some more on here

You see, if you look like you will provide Microsoft some successful 
competition, they get interested and start giving you money.

Wayland.
