[IAEP] First competitor?

[Eben Eliason]

"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?
