SugarLabs: Sugar-sweet or Sugar-coated?

,----[ Quote ]
| It's engineering goals call for a (Linux) 
| OS and hardware-agnostic platform, with 
| transparent, free and readily accessible 
| and modifiable code that can be also easily 
| shared among users. The normal user has 
| absolute control over the Sugar part but 
| the core system remains secure from 
| malicious activities.

Jolicloud Steps Up Its Game As Pre-Launch Excitement For Chrome OS Builds

,----[ Quote ]
| In a couple of hours, Google is going to 
| share more details about its upcoming 
| operating system Chrome OS at an event in 
| Mountain View that will most likely be 
| covered from start to finish by TechCrunch 
| writers (and then some) as well as a slew 
| of other media outlets. Jolicloud, that 
| other OS for netbooks that is completely 
| built for people who live and work on the 
| Web from the ground up, has in the meantime 
| been running fine on my own netbook for the 
| past couple of months.
