OLPC to opt ARM processor instead of Intel Atom for XO-2

It is not an unknown fact that the Microsoft won’t be making an Windows OS having ARM processor support. XO-2, which is targeted to be launched after 18 months from now is likely going to have ARM processor instead of Intel Atom processor.

ARM processors consume much much less power than any power-frugal Intel Processor processor. But since the the ARM processors can run full blown version of Linux, who is complaining?
