<div>Another idea. Sugar in a web browser. It would be the easiest
to get running for the users and it's consistent with the

virtualized Sugar is the short term goal,* Sugar in a web
browser is the long term one.<br>

Although the hardware specs are a good target for Sugar3, I
believe that suggesting a really small box with 5 cables
connected to it to showcase a K-9 educational platform, may
retract from the feasibility and thoroughness of the project.<br>
A decent rooted tablet (ie Nexus 7) running Sugar on top of
Linux, even if the performance is not the best, would be much
more catchy and maybe suggestive of a Sugar-on-Android to
come.<br>
You can still do the CuBox thing but not for journalists and
teachers.<br>

This is certainly a good idea but it must work as advertised
ie in 1 click after the VM software is installed.<br>
I would only add Parallels-VM/VMware appliances since may
already be present in these closed OSs and can really provide
"a single click to Sugar". <br>
