My understanding is that Microsoft started a project at a school in Rwanda.
However, the implementing team later discarded the XOs, purchased
conventional laptops
and used Windows in the school.
Note: (1) at the time Microsoft was walking away from XP and
(2) Microsoft never offered to make Office available.

No, we only build them with Fedora + Sugar + Gnome. Customer may load
Android after delivery. Windows XP is not on offer for XO-4.
I'm not sure how many Android units OLPC has shipped,
None.

None. Windows XP required a PC architecture, which the early models
were capable of, and the systems were engineered, but there were no
customer orders, so we never shipped it. (My guess is that people
said they wanted it, but when it came to the crunch they didn't). The
XO-4 is certainly not capable, because it isn't an x86 processor.
