In May 2008, OLPC announced that Microsoft was purchasing a limited number of machines for their Unlimited Potential program, to run Windows XP for pilot programs. However, OLPC does not currently offer Microsoft Windows to Give1Get1 participants. The XO laptop features the Linux operating system and the Sugar learning environment, including software specifically designed for children and the XO. Microsoft Word™ documents can be opened directly, using some of the software and content created by thousands of volunteers around the world.
