It's certainly true that we can't do it alone. It's also true that we
couldn't even consider doing XO-2 if it weren't for the fantastic work
already done on multitouch and multi-pointer X. I'm excited that
Sugar is being packaged for other linux distros now, and I hope OLPC's
software will gradually seem less and less unusual. We will continue
to try new things, and I hope the free software community helps us
push the envelope.
