[IAEP] Windows is Coming

[Tony Anderson]

Hi Sean,

Do you mean commands written in text? The question may be whether Ubuntu 
programs can be started from a shortcut but I don't see how that would
not be possible. The information I read did not imply starting an os 
(although I suppose that could be done by a vm). What I read was that this
capability was an alternative to Cygwin. I don't have any hands-on 
experience to judge the quality of the MS/Ubuntu partnership.

However, I think the main point is that Sugar probably can be run in 
Windows 10 starting with the Ubuntu Sugar base. This might be a good 
project
for someone. One major advantage is that it would make it possible to 
demonstrate the capabilities of Sugar on a Windows machine for prospective
sponsors of olpc/Sugar deployments.

Tony
