【賽迪網訊】10月23日消息,據國外媒體報道,英特爾董事長克雷格·貝瑞特(Craig Barrett)近日表示,英特爾對百元筆記本的態度之所以從”敵對”轉向”支援”,是因為百元比本自身有了改善。

貝瑞特說:”兩年前,我把百元筆記本稱為’小玩意’。正因為如此,我還惹怒了尼葛洛龐帝及其開發團隊。在過去的兩年中,他們一直把英特爾視為仇敵。”

OLPC-微軟開發百元筆記本操作系統 不讓Linux獨佔

騰訊科技訊北京時間10月26日消息,微軟企業副總裁維爾-普爾(Will Poole)週四說,微軟在推出一個可以在「百元筆記本電腦」(OLPC)上運行的Windows操作系統方面已經取得了一些進展。「百元筆記本電腦」面向發展中國家貧困家庭的孩子,目前運行的是開源軟件Linux。

微軟正在改編一個基礎版本的Windows XP,以使它能夠與非盈利組織OLPC設計的綠白相間的「百元筆記本」XO兼容。普爾週四在接受採訪時說:「我們在這一項目上投入了數目不小的一筆資金。我們很努力地在做這件事,但距離成功至少還需要數月時間。」

OLPC 基金會計劃從下個月在中國開始生產這種售價實際價格將定為188美元的這種筆記本,並最終將年產量提高到數百萬台。百元筆記本電腦原本專門向亞、非、拉丁美洲的發展中國家的小學生提供,但該基金會為了籌資資金,也打算在美國和加拿大以每部400美元的價格出售。百元筆記本的設計目標是運行Linux。微軟擔心,如果百元筆記本僅運行Linux,Microsoft就會失去一個讓全球數千萬孩子認識它的Windows操作系統的機會。

一位業內人士表示,如果OLPC基金會果真能夠實現自己的為全球孩子們生產數千萬太筆記本的目標,而且它們裝了Linux操作系統,那麼這些孩子們將來就會習慣使用Linux而不是微軟的Windows。該人士稱,一旦人們有機會認識Linux,他們可能會更喜歡它。

百元筆記本電腦配備了一個手搖發電裝置,一個可以在不同語言之間轉換的鍵盤、一個數字攝像頭,此外它還具有無線上網功能。這種電腦沒有硬盤,只安裝了閃存和 4個USB接口,能耗只有2瓦,大大低於普通筆記本電腦。百元筆記本電腦原本設想的價格為100美元,但目前還遠遠不能達到這個目標。百元筆記本電腦的設計師瑪麗-盧-傑普森(Mary Lou Jepsen)本月初在接受採訪時說,她預計明年第一季度隨著內存芯片價格的下跌,百元筆記本會更便宜些。(編譯/金戈)
