Even though I've tried to keep a close eye on the breathtaking
Frequently asked questions about Sugar on a Stick
development of SoaS over the past few weeks there are still some basic
questions I'm wondering about, all related to how well SoaS runs on the
various netbooks.


What I'm basically trying to find out
==Is running the SoaS Beta on a netbook a real alternative to XOs with Build 767 when it comes to classroom settings?==
==Is running the SoaS Beta on a netbook is a ''real'' alternative to XOs with build 767 when it comes to classroom settings?==


It is still in Beta and we feel very strongly about not overselling it. However, it is an alternative to consider today if you are an early adopter and you set a realistic rollout plan. It is Beta software so I would set the expectation that the teacher/school would want to pick out which hardware they want, pick out which activities they want to start with and test those and work closely with the community.

I am incredibly optimistic about both the technical results at FOSSVT and the excitement of the educators. Based on discussions at FOSSVT and others who have posted I'm sure that Sugar will be in kids hands on netbooks and in existing computer labs this summer.
The technical results and the excitement of the educators at FOSSVT was encouranging. Based on discussions at FOSSVT and others who have posted, we are confident that Sugar will be in classroom use on netbooks and on existing computer labs in Q3 2009.
