At this point, I think I have used Sugar more on non-XO computers than XO computers. The only real issue for me are the keyboard mappings: the lack of a dedicated Frame key in particular. (0.83 makes a big -- positive -- difference in that I am no longer needing to cycle through the Journal to restart activities.)
It would be good to do some brainstorming about keyboard mappings and support for touchscreens in the 0.86 planning. -walter On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 8:27 AM, Eben Eliason <[email protected]> wrote: > "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.
