Made by www.90percentofeverything.com, this video demos the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child, aka "Hundred Dollar Laptop") User Interface (using an emulator). It's pretty unconventional and worth having a look. Check out 90percentofeverything.com for a clearer version of this video.

Wow, SUGAR looks awesome, very intuitive! I hope they'll start the "Give 1 Get 1" programme in Europe, then I'll donate one and get one for my mom, she's never had a computer and is intimated by them, but I think she'll get along well with SUGAR ... But I'm wondering, how do you enter a URL in the browser if there's no toolbar? Are you supposed to make a Google search of the URL you want and then click on the result that corresponds?

Sugar is supposed a departure from traditional desktops. Windows may seem simple to you but that is because you have used it for many years; you learned it. You've learned the Microsoft way of doing things, making anything different difficult for you by default. But the operating system that taught people to turn off their computers by clicking a button marked "start" is not simple for someone who has never used it. Sugar is intended to be an educational tool and fun for children.

Well, this laptop is for children that are in poor countries.

If I could upgrade this and get (light cough) Crysis on it, it would be one hell of a cheap awesome laptop. $100!

I think this is a great LINUX system. Thumbs up.

Two remarks: (1) There is a new live CD to test Sugar (the GUI) on your personal computer. It's done by Wolfgang Rohrmoser and to be found at laptop-dot-org wiki. (2) Of course the GUI is unfamiliar to us, as it breaks with the arbitrary tradition to copy the nomenclatura and structure of office contexts: File, folder, programme: School kids aged 6 shouldn't care about bureau stuff to handle a computer. Sugar presents activities instead. It is an intended break with all we knew before.

As simple as Windows? Surely you're joking. As simple as Windows, the most malware ridden, difficult to use operating system ever invented by mankind. Right. Go learn Unix, moron.
