Sugar has Activities rather that programs or applications. It is implemented on top of existing or modified operating systems and hardware. The Activities are accessed by the user through the Sugar platform. Many Activities, such as Browse, can take advantage of library collections. Some collections are included with the Sugar system; others may be installed from the Web or created locally.
