I downloaded a Sugar VM this week having failed to get it to work
natively under Ubuntu.
A brief review: It's utter pants.
It's a bunch of fairly crappy software tied together with an even
crappier user interface. I reject the idea that this is some microcosm
of cutting-edge computing. The whole field of usability is completely
neglected. Decades of user interface design has been ignored. Why? NIH?
