(2009-06-30) Sugar On A Stick Strawberry Ui

The Sugar UI is now available as "SugarOnAStick", a bootable 1GB Fed Ora Flash Drive. But if you have to boot it, doesn't that mean you can't run anything else on the computer's native OS at the same time? Is that really convenient?

Walter Bender said (in Feb) it's an easy way in the door. Most schools' IT departments don't even let teachers install software. The overhead associated with large IT infrastructures forces these people to be very conservative about adopting new ideas. So having Sugar on a stick means we can hand this to a teacher or a student and they don't have to have any impact on the existing infrastructure at all.

Hrm this doesn't sound attractive to me at all... (doesn't work with WiFi???) (note that's from February, so maybe things are better now...)
