OLPC would be the go-to candidate to hire services from Sugarlabs.  Which
doesn't actually make sense at all, and probably has absolutely no bearing

But the VIA OpenBook has CC licensed a lot of the hardware for their
referance design.  Sugar wouldn't exactly be a bad option for the machines,
even if they are awful high powered comparitively.
