Link: Sugar Labs already in talks with four laptop makers - Engadget. SugarLabs, which created the interface and OS for the OLPC laptops, before they defected to XP, is now shopping the OS to other low cost PC makers. As I have said before, I found the OS pretty lame, even though it was designed for children. It is icon and graphic driven; but, there are few hints about use. It is locked down tight; because it was designed for children, the makers didn't want unauthorized use. Hopefully, a commercial version will be more customizable. Why it is called kid-friendly, I don't understand.
