It was a very poor experiment and the article had a number of items of misinformation. The author of the article did not take advantage of the fact that she had 2 XOs . She did not boot both in Sugar to observe the collaboration capabilities of Sugar and Activities. If she had then Sugar would have won hands down. Windows is pointless as an educational platform. I have never seen what I would call an educational application on Windows. I have seen rote training applications on Windows. About all Windows is good for is in a school training the next generation of low skilled, low wage support personal for Microsoft with out of date knowledge.

Remember education and training are 2 different concepts. Education gives you the ability to reach beyond your base knowledge and to continue to learn, explore and synthesize ideas and concepts. Rote training freezes you in time and makes you inflexible.
