(…)but the biggest mistake was not having Sugar run as an application “on a vanilla Linux laptop”, said OLPC founder and chairman Nicholas Negroponte.
“Sugar should have been an application [residing] on a normal operating system,” he told ZDNet Asia in an interview. “But what we did…was we had Sugar do the power management, we had Sugar do the wireless management–it became sort of an omelet. The Bios talked directly with Sugar, so Sugar became a bit of a mess.”
Negroponte added: “It should have been much cleaner, like the way they offer [it] on a stick now.”
Fica a lição do tio Negroponte: duplicar o upstream é sempre uma PÉSSIMA idéia.
