"Sugar is a very good interface for the OLPC computers it was made for, but many of the design decisions and interfaces don't work nearly as well on standard PCs."
I'm curious what people think about this statement. I tend to agree that some design decisions were biased toward the XO-1 hardware, but I don't think that any of the decisions actually fail on a "standard PC", and I actually think Sugar scales pretty well in terms of interaction. However, if we can assume their perspective and locate some areas which aren't ideal on all hardware, perhaps we can work on resolving them. Anyone have some examples? - Eben On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 3:45 AM, Sean DALY <[email protected]> wrote: > It claims to be a standalone home computer environment for kids, not a > classroom environment. > > > > On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 8:29 AM, Bernie Innocenti <[email protected]> wrote: >> ,Josh williams wrote: >>> Looks like a Microsoft project, they're hosted on IIS and the site is >>> written in ASP. >> >> Might also be a bad choice of web hosting provider.
