Sugar Labs on Tuesday released the downloadable Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry OS meant for children's education. The program was originally developed for the One Laptop per Child XO-1 netbook, but this version can be loaded onto any Windows or Mac PC, and is also available for computers running on Linux.
Intel has been named today as one of the parties developing its own version of the Sugar user interface for its Classmate PC with children as the targeted user. The UI would be based on the version used in One Laptop Per Child's XO educational laptop. OLPC's former executive and current Sugar Labs Foundation head Walter Bender announced about one month ago that his company is talking with four PC makers to supply them with the Sugar user interface.
