| The computers run the open-source Sugar
| software suite, marking a return to OLPC's
| roots after a flirtation with running
| Windows XP on its emblematic green-and-white
| XO laptops.
|
| Sugar is now developed by a separate
| organization, Sugar Labs, which also offers
| versions of its Activities software for
| Windows, or on a bootable USB stick running
| on top of a Linux kernel.
