There are several I can think of:

1. Currently shipping 55 K/month
2. Reports from the field
3. New version of sugar+activities about to hit the streets
4. Continuous improvements via Open Source projects
5. Live CD's with sugar for first world schools
6. Sugar on MIPS hardware (that will never happen with windows).

Lots of things to prove that reports of sugars death are greatly
exaggerated :-)
