In my mind, it is mostly nothing about Sugar [learning environment],
but about OLPC's efforts of creating XO laptops. Moreover, Sugar
[learning environment] might be considered as a bad example for Green
Design Patterns, because is not all time efficient in case of computer's
resources consumption :).
