With the 100$ Laptop/OLPC/XO it was about bringing education and computer knowledge to the developing world. Linux (the kernel) is an instrument in that, because it's easy to get, easy to extend and free. But it's not about bringing linux to the developing world. In that sense it shouln't be about bringing linux and/or windows to them but to educate them and give them a chance to pull themselves up. And that chance they would have - maybe - got with the original design of a 100$ laptop to read stuff on and the ability to alter, not with a dual-booting-something. And, as a side note, if you think about it: what do you do with the other 49 billion once you got your billion? What do you buy more that you can't with the 1?
